Traditional Arts Apprenticeship Program

Oregon Folklife Network is now accepting applications for their Traditional Arts Apprenticeship Program through March 3.  Traditional artists of exceptional merit qualify for $3,000 grants, which enable them to pass their expertise on to someone of great promise in their cultural community.  The master - or mentoring – artist and his or her apprentice apply together as a team and must demonstrate how traditional their art form is, how significant it is to the community they share, how strong their ties are to that cultural community, and the excellence of the quality of their work based on work samples, like images, videos, support letters, and press.

Applications must be received in the office by 5 p.m., March 3. For more information go to http://ofn.uoregon.edu, or contact Bruno Seraphin at 541-346-3820 or [email protected].
