Folk and Traditional Arts are defined as those artistic traditions characteristic of ethnic, religious, linguistic, occupational, or regional groups. These arts are shaped and shared within families, neighborhoods, and communities. They are passed down from one generation to another and learned through ongoing participation in community-based activities, and through observation, practice, or apprenticeships with elders and masters, rather than through classes, books, or other means of institutional instruction.
Grant Amount
Apprenticeships are offered annually in both performing and craft traditions. The program makes awards of up to $4,000.
Grant Period
September 1, 2022 – August 31, 2023.
Eligibility Criteria
- The master artist and the apprentice must apply together, with the master artist being the applicant (if
the master artist is a Pennsylvania resident). - Apprenticeships only fund living artistic traditions that are shaped and shared within families, neighborhoods, and communities. The art form must be part of the current life of citizens residing in Pennsylvania.
