Craft and Folk Art Museum (CAFAM)
Museums / Galleries, Miracle Mile
Fodor's Review:
A small but important cultural landmark in the city, CAFAM pioneered support for traditional folk arts. These days, the two-story space takes on a global scope, embracing international contemporary crafts, social movements, and long-established artisan work. The gallery space mounts rotating exhibitions where you might see anything from costumes of carnival celebrations around the world to Mennonite quilts. The courtyard area provides a tranquil space for periodic exhibits and opening receptions. Shows slated for 2008 include artist Jennifer Falck Linssen, who utilizes the ancient Japanese paper art of katagami. Be sure to take a look around the ground-level gift shop for unique collection of handcrafts, jewelry, ceramics, books, and textiles.
