Museum of International Folk Art | April 2026

Because of supporters like you, last year’s Folk Art Flea raised more than $200,000—part of $1.2 million generated over the event’s 14-year history to support the Museum’s exhibitions, collections care, and education programs.

Your sponsorship helps make it possible for the Museum to:

  • Provide hands-on learning experiences for more than 11,000 youth each year
  • Welcome nearly 70,000 visitors annually
  • Share the creativity and traditions of cultures from around the world with people of all ages

Your support truly makes this impact possible.
