DESCRIPTION
Since 1980, the Ritchie family has been collecting, travelling and
sharing folk art from around the world. The Peaceable Kingdom is
a place where stories come alive—where art created within
cultural traditions transports the viewer to exotic lands. Talk
with a Peruvian curandero (folk healer) by looking into a retablo
depicting a healing ceremony. Visit a Central Asian woman by admiring
the sosani (embroidery) she created to decorate her nomadic tent.
Hear the Sepik River ancestral myth carved into a story board from
Papua New Guinea. You will also find…
¨ Rugs, pillows and tribal weavings
¨ Jewelry new and old
¨ Ethnic clothing and accessories
¨ African masks and statuary
¨ Haitian paintings
¨ Latin American folk art
¨ Musical instruments
¨ Puppets and folk toys
¨ Nativity Scenes from around the world
¨ Dia de los Muertos collectibles
Shop ‘til you Drop! One of our most enthusiastic
guides, Sarah Tallarico (the West Side Tour Guide) will be
leading our second annual November Shopping Tour. The tour will visit a selection
of galleries from each route and leave plenty of time for browsing and purchasing
unique gifts.
From Sarah - "I am a local artist who has been working
for Gallery Night as a tour guide for three years and I absolutely love it!
I look forward to guiding the shopping tour once again this year which gives
participants a unique opportunity to purchase one-of-a-kind gifts for those
art lovers and special people in your life. The Holidays are right around the
corner, let's start celebrating next Thursday in anticipation!"
The tour starts from Citizens Plaza at 5:30 pm.
