Other cool shows to see this week (as researched and recommended by our amazing intern Lauren Palmor) include:

The Great Cover-Up: American Rugs on Beds, Tables, and Floors at the American Folk Art Museum, on view through September 9th. This show contains work by dozens of women artists, many who were previously unidentified or named as “anonymous.” A fascinating and colorful look into the world of American women’s crafts from the 19th and early 20th centuries. Roberta Smith’s review in the N.Y. Times highlights the show’s feminist spin.

Amelia Earhart: Image and Icon on view through September 9th. This exhibition at the ICP makes a connection between Earhart as a historic icon and images of her public persona. Before you see the show, you can brush up on her story with a visit to her page our Dinner Party Database.
