America/New_York
Off-campus

Build connections across our diverse networks of ISSO students, scholars, and their family members by coming with us to explore a free community resource in NYC! 

Join ISSO to explore the American Folk Art Museum, which celebrates self-taught artists and the creative talents shaped by personal experience rather than formal artistic training. The museum's collection includes more than seven thousand works of art from four centuries and nearly every continent—from compelling portraits and dazzling quilts to powerful works by living artists in a variety of mediums.

    • Admission is FREE for everyone!
