Folk Art

09/07/20 • 58 min

This week on The Children's Hour we learn all about Folk Art from Leslie Fagre, the education director at the Museum of International Folk Art, and from Armando Ortega, an 8th generation weaver from the world renown Chimayo Ortega weaving family. Plus we’ve got a review of a book about a folk art family, and we hear from the Extinction Diaries who will update us about lemurs. All of this is mixed with great music, including a new track from SaulPaul. The Children’s Hour is supported by the Cultural Services Department and the Urban Enhancement Trust Fund at the City of Albuquerque. This project is supported in part by an award from New Mexico Arts, a division of the Department of Cultural Affairs, and by the National Endowment for the Arts. We also have support from Electric Playhouse and numerous foundations also support our work including the Infinite Gesture Fund, The Limestone Fund, and The Laughing Buddha Fund. Thank you to our listeners who contribute to us through the Paypal Giving Fund, Paypal, and by subscribing to our podcasts on Patreon. durationtitleartistalbumlabel 04:15Sun ChildrenNickodemusSun People2013 WONDERWHEEL RECORDINGS 03:06Create Your Own WayGreen Chili Jam BandStarfishingGreen Chili Jam Band - 1993 00:54Peeling The OnionSongwriters of FaithSo Far ...Songwriters of Faith - 2010 01:53The Quilt (feat.
