We were invited to the launch party for the American Folk Museum‘s new Young Patron’s committee. Over 200 guests attended the soiree to celebrate this great event sponsored by Firefly Sweet Tea Vodka, Flavorpill, The Brooklyn Brewery and Landmark Wines. One of our favorite attractions was the life size Polaroid cutout photo shoots, shot by photographer Jason Whalen and the amazing artifacts throughout the museum.The museum’s Young Patrons seek to introduce new audiences to folk art and to raise funds to support the museum’s exhibitions and programs.
