Limners Program At The Grafton Historical Society

The Grafton Historical Society’s May meeting will be held at the Grafton Town Hall on May 15 at 7 pm. This month’s program will have Matthew McKeeby presenting “American folk artists known as limners.” The program is free and the public is welcome. Refreshments will be served.
A limner is the work of untrained, generally anonymous artists active in the English American colonies.  The limner tradition extended well into the 19th century.  Since the 1990s Matthew McKeeby has been crafting the very best quality oil-on-canvas reproductions of the works of great American folk artists, specializing in the world of Edward Hicks and the decorative painting style of Rufus Porter.
