Folk and Traditional Arts
The Folk and Traditional arts are rooted in and reflective of the cultural life of a community. Community members may share a common ethnic heritage, language, religion, occupation, or geographic region. These vital and constantly reinvigorated artistic traditions are shaped by values and standards of excellence that are passed from generation to generation, most often within family and community, through demonstration, conversation, and practice. Genres of artistic activity include, but are not limited to, music, dance, crafts, and oral expression. There are a number of funding opportunities within this discipline, please refer to the following website for additional information: http://www.arts.endow.gov/grants/apply/Folk.html
