Folk Art in Village Halls

Compton Verney took the British Folk Art Collection on a tour around South Warwickshire as part of Museums and Galleries Month in May 2001. Paintings, artefacts and objects from the collection were displayed in five village halls over a series of weekends. Visitors had the chance to meet the artists Jeremy Deller and Alan Kane, who collect contemporary folk art, and to bring in their own handmade objects and artworks for photographing and documenting.
