Arkansas Folk and Traditional Arts is now accepting applications to the Arkansas Folk and Traditional Arts Apprenticeship Program. Applications must be submitted via email or postmarked by Aug. 31 for the project period of November 2022 to May 2023.
The Arkansas Folk and Traditional Arts Apprenticeship Program funds teams of master artists and apprentices who are committed to sustaining their artistic traditions and cultural heritage. Teams are required to develop a work plan for the upcoming project year, meet with each other regularly over the course of the year, and finally, share their experience with their communities at the culmination of the project. By providing funds of up to $3,000, this award honors and supports the master traditional artists who dedicate their time to pass their skills and knowledge on to apprentices over an extended period of time. Complete program information, guidelines and application instructions are available on the Arkansas Folk and Traditional Arts website.
