We want to say thank you to our outgoing Guest Curator, Elliott Oring! If you missed a chance to see his fantastic artifacts, please stop by the Guest Curator Archive Page. You can also examine all of our past Guest Curator’s as well.
Welcome to our Guest Curator, Mariah Chase!
As well as being the curator, photographer & web designer for the Gallery of Folklore and Popular culture, I am also an art historian with an emphasis in pop culture, as well as a stained glass artist. In my spare time, I am a lecturer for one university, two community colleges and a dual credit program with a local high school. I love pop culture because it is something that can unite people regardless of race, gender, or age. I hope that you enjoy another look at some of my pop culture collection. Please click on the links below to watch the Hen Laying Eggs in action and for a brief history of the daguerreotype.
If you are a folklorist or a collector of folklore/popular culture artifacts, please consider becoming a Guest Curator. Your objects will be highlighted here on a rotating basis.
