Kevin Blythe Sampson<\/strong> is a sculptor, painter, and muralist recognized for tackling difficult issues that concern him and his Newark, New Jersey, neighbors. Born in Elizabeth, NJ, he\u00a0 grew up in a household that was totally committed to civil rights and community concerns, and this continues to be a recurring theme in his work. Kevin\u2019s father, Stephen was a community leader in both Elizabeth and other parts of New Jersey and remains Kevin\u2019s most important role model. A retired police officer, Kevin worked for the city of Scotch Plains, NJ for over 20 years and was the first African American composite sketch artist in the country. Following his retirement from the police force, Kevin taught at the Newark School of Fine and Industrial Art for over 16 years until the school\u2019s closing in 1995. He continues to teach at various art schools and community programs, including Express Newark and Rutgers Paul Robeson Gallery. Kevin has been represented by Cavin-Morris Gallery in New York since 1992, and his work is in the American Folk Art Museum and the Center for Intuitive and Outsider Art, among other museum collections. His work has been supported by grants from the Joan Mitchell Foundation, as well as residencies at the Cathedral of St John the Divine (1995), the Marie Walsh Sharpe Art Foundation (1994-95), the John Michael Kohler Art Center (2016), the Joan Mitchell Center (2017), the Mystic Seaport Museum (2018), and most recently, the Mariposa Museum (2020).

Nalleli received her Ph.D. in the History of American Civilization in May 2018 and holds an M.A. in American Material Culture, both from the University of Delaware. She is a specialist in nineteenth-century America with a particular interest in visual and material culture and their intersection with race and ethnicity. Her artifact research at BHS has been focused on uncovering the hidden histories of Brooklyn\u2019s historically underrepresented communities. A case study examining an example of Revolutionary era portraiture and slavery in Brooklyn will soon be published in the journal Winterthur Portfolio<\/em>, in an upcoming special issue on enslavement and material culture.<\/p>\n

Emelie Gevalt<\/strong> is Curator of Folk Art at the American Folk Art Museum, where she recently curated Signature Styles: Friendship, Album, and Fundraising Quilts<\/a><\/em>, as part of a series of quilts exhibitions at the museum\u2019s location in Long Island City.

Mellon Foundation Curatorial Track Ph.D. Fellowship. Often looking at earlier material through the lens of twentieth-century histories of collecting and collective memory, her work encompasses research interests in eighteenth- and nineteenth-century American portraiture, painted furniture, the Colonial Revival movement, and African American material culture and representation. Gevalt received her B.A. in art history and theater studies from Yale University and her M.A. from the Winterthur Program in American Material Culture. Her Winterthur thesis, on the topic of early eighteenth-century painted chests from Taunton, Massachusetts, was recently published in the Chipstone Foundation\u2019s American Furniture.<\/em> Her research has been supported in part by grants from the Craft Research Fund and the Decorative Arts Trust.

Wrapped, wound, and interwoven, Judith Scott\u2019s cocoon-like sculptures offer viewers a powerful experience of intimacy, enhanced by the enigma of the artist’s intentions.

Reflecting on the 30th anniversary of the passing of the Americans with Disabilities Act this year, Senior Curator Val\u00e9rie Rousseau and Tom di Maria, Director of External Relations at Creative Growth Art Center<\/a>, will explore Scott\u2019s groundbreaking life and work, taking a closer look at her complex creative process and examining questions of interpretation and exhibition.

How do artists reinterpret the past for new meaning in the present?<\/p>\n

Contemporary artist Bisa Butler<\/a> creates vivid, colorful quilted portraits that center and celebrate African American life and culture. Drawing imagery from found photographs and titles from films, literature, and other sources, Butler mines the archive to critique exclusionary histories and create new visions for the future. Art historian, independent curator, and author Dr. Myrah Brown Green<\/a> documents the contributions of African American visual artists, including quilters, and creates quilts that draw on African American and indigenous fiber art traditions. Join us for a conversation about their art and activism, the exchange of generational memory, and their responses to selected works from the museum\u2019s permanent collection.<\/p>\n

Emelie Gevalt<\/strong> is Curator of Folk Art at the American Folk Art Museum, where she recently curated Signature Styles: Friendship, Album, and Fundraising Quilts<\/a><\/em>, as part of a series of quilts exhibitions at the museum\u2019s location in Long Island City. In addition to her curatorial work, Gevalt is pursuing her doctorate in American art history at the University of Delaware, where her scholarship has been supported by an Andrew W. Mellon Foundation Curatorial Track PhD Fellowship. Often looking at earlier material through the lens of twentieth-century histories of collecting and collective memory, her work encompasses research interests in eighteenth- and nineteenth-century American portraiture, painted furniture, the Colonial Revival movement, and African American material culture and representation. Gevalt received her BA in art history and theater studies from Yale University and her MA from the Winterthur Program in American Material Culture. Her Winterthur thesis, on the topic of early eighteenth-century painted chests from Taunton, Massachusetts, was recently published in the Chipstone Foundation\u2019s American Furniture. Her research has been supported in part by grants from the Craft Research Fund and the Decorative Arts Trust. She has previously held positions at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston and Christie\u2019s, New York.<\/p>\n

Elizabeth V. Warren<\/strong> has devoted nearly 40 years to writing about, and curating exhibitions of folk art, with a special focus on quilts. Warren served as American Folk Art Museum Curator from 1984 to 1991, and since then has been a consulting and guest curator. She has organized a number of critically acclaimed exhibitions for the museum, many of which have been accompanied by books, including Infinite Variety: Three Centuries of Red and White Quilts<\/em> (2011) and The Perfect Game: America Looks at Baseball<\/em> (2003-2004), and most recently Made in New York City: The Business of Folk Art<\/em> (2019). In 2007, she was elected to the museum\u2019s Board of Trustees, and was elected President in 2019. Warren also serves on the Board of Trustees of Bryn Mawr College. After graduating from Bryn Mawr College, she was a journalist at House Beautiful covering the home furnishings market as well as art and antiques. While working at House Beautiful she received a Masters of Arts from New York University in folk art studies.<\/p>\n

Try your hand at the traditional art of bobbin lacemaking, which developed out of complex braiding techniques more than four hundred years ago. Teaching artist Elena Kanagy-Loux<\/strong><\/a> will lead a discussion about the history of lacemaking using examples found in nineteenth\u00a0century portraits featured in the exhibition American Perspectives<\/em><\/a>, followed by a workshop in which students will learn to wind bobbins, set up their pillow, and work the foundational stitch of bobbin lace, known as cloth stitch or linen stitch, to create a little sampler in cotton thread. All materials will be provided. The program is limited to 10 individuals.<\/p>\n

The Dialogue + Studio Workshop series offers participants opportunities to gain insight into and engage with self-taught art, past and present, at a deep level. Focused discussions about select themes, techniques, and materials featured in current exhibitions couple with related expert-led hands-on workshops.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Elena Kanagy-Loux<\/strong> was raised by Mennonites in Tokyo, where she was surrounded by traditional craft and DIY fashion. After receiving her BFA in Textile Design from FIT, she won a grant that funded a four-month trip to study lacemaking across Europe in 2015. Upon returning to New York City, she cofounded the Brooklyn Lace Guild, and began teaching bobbin lace classes at the Textile Arts Center. She recently completed her MA in Costume Studies at NYU, where she wrote her thesis on modern lacemaking culture. Currently, she is the collections specialist at the Antonio Ratti Textile Center at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.<\/p>\n
