Friends of Folk Art (FOFA) is an educational and social membership group affiliated with the Museum of International Folk Art. Our emphasis is on folk art, food, friendship, and having a good time. Our upcoming events will take you to places you may never have visited, and show you absorbing and interesting sights. We welcome those who share the love of folk art, travel, ethnic culture and cuisine - and who wish to support the Museum of International Folk Art - while enjoying themselves!

We invite you to join FOFA!
