At the exhibit “Grass Roots: African Origins of an American Art,” you’ll see the ABCs of basketry: artistry, beauty and creativity. Crossing 300 years of African and American history, the exhibit features coiled basketry from both continents. Simultaneously art and craft, the baskets reflect the evolution of the societies that produced them. “Grass Roots” includes photographs, paintings and videos following the history of basketry, as well as stellar examples of the craftwork. 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. Tuesdays through Fridays, noon to 6 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays.
