"american-folk-art.com (AFA) is an internet promotion vehicle for folk artists, as well as a marketplace for anyone wishing to sell or promote folkart. Collectors wishing to downsize their collection may present and sell pieces here to american-folk-art.com's niche market, rather than using a mass market online auction site. It's also the perfect way for a small shop owner to promote their offerings to a wider audience while providing an opportunity for additional sales."
