Fall Exhibition Shepherds the Millennium liroughout American history, folk artists have given a tangible expression to vision and prophecy, often in relation to the long-awaited millennium. This fall the Museum will present "Millennial Dreams: The Utopian Vision in American Folk Art," an exhibition that will trace this powerful tradition in both its spiritual and secular manifestations. Museum Director Gerard C. Werticin, a scholar with a special focus on the Shakers and other utopian communities, will serve as curator. The exhibition, which will be on view from Nov. 13, 1999, to May 14, 2000, will shed new light on the centrality of millennial thought in three centuries of American culture through 65 compelling works as diverse as Shaker spirit drawings, illustrated Adventist charts, Pennsylvania German fraktur, Edward Hicks'
