Exhibitions
There have been two exhibitions of Brader's works. In October 1986, an exhibition was held in Reading, Pennsylvania at the Historical Society of Berks County. This showing was entitled, "Brader in Berks, 1880-1883". This exhibition showed 16 of Brader's pictures both from Pennsylvania and Ohio. An exhibition catalog was produced with the same title.
In 1991 the Massillon Museum, in Massillon, Ohio organized an Exhibition of Ohio Drawings. This exhibition was entitled "F.A. Brader, The Ohio Drawings". It ran from January 20, 1991 through March 3, 1991 but no catalog was produced.
The Canton Museum of Art has announced plans to create an exhibition and a publication dedicated to the historic drawings of Brader. Progress is well underway in preparation for the exhibition, scheduled to open at the Canton Museum in December 2014, in conjunction with the publication of the book. The purpose of the research for the forthcoming exhibit and publication is to trace and document the artistic path of Ferdinand Brader as he traveled through the countryside, adding significant depth to our understanding of American family heritage. The exhibit will be a retrospective of Brader's work in America and will include more than forty examples.
