| To Gain Understanding Of A Culture Through Its Art To Record That Art Before It Is Lost To Change & Westernization To Share The Extraordinary World Of Folk Art With Others After graduating from UCLA and serving two years in the Peace Corps in Guatemala, Gordon Frost became a collector of cultural art and over several years assembled the largest collection of Guatemalan textiles and dance masks in the United States (over 5000 works). Frost has visited Guatemala every year since 1967, over forty times!The collection is loaned to museums & galleries for educational purposes. Now a larger audience can share the collection on the Internet. Gordon Frost Folk Art Tours: Frost built his collection while he did museum exhibitions, and presented slide-show programs about Guatemalan Indian art for ten years. During that time he was asked by many people to take them to Guatemala where he went. Frost led his first group to Guatemala in 1977. He took his group on Guatemala's back roads in spectacular mountain environment to rarely visited Indian villages. It was a great adventure with interesting, knowledgeable travelers! He has led a group to Guatemala every year since. Frosts folk art tours now include personally led trips to several other countries. His folk art groups explore Guatemala, Mexico, Peru, Bolivia, Panama, & Indonesia. photo: Gordon Frost with Komodo, Java, Indonesia |
