Solicitation Profile |
The Folk Arts Program is devoted to sustaining New York State’s living cultural heritage of folk arts through supporting activities designed to safeguard and perpetuate traditions practiced within communities. It also supports programming that enables general audiences to experience the traditional arts. By definition, folk arts are traditional cultural expressions through which a group maintains and passes on its shared way of life. They are practiced within and among ethnic, regional, occupational, and religious communities as well as other kinds of groups with a common identity. Traditional folk arts express a group's sense of beauty, identity, and values. Folk arts are usually learned informally through performance, by example, or in oral traditions among families, friends, neighbors and co-workers rather than through formal education. The practice of folk arts by traditional artists stems from their birthright, community membership or direct participation in the life of a community. Never static, folk arts change as they are adapted to new circumstances while they maintain their traditional qualities. The best folk artists work within artistic conventions shaped and refined over time while creating innovations recognized by other community members.
The NYSCA grant program strives to make investments of public funds that serve all communities and people that comprise New York State’s citizens and visitors. NYSCA strongly supports, values and encourages the sustained and concerted efforts of non-profit art, culture and heritage organizations to be inclusive and have its workforce, artists and programmatic offerings reflect New York State’s diversity of people, geography and artistic interests.
