Chris Thomas performs a traditional song at @mwpai during Art Alive! We partnered with Munson Williams to bring four fine Oneida and Onondaga artists to share their culture with us during the Art Alive! event in February, as part of the Upstate Regional Initiative. They gave a fantastic and educational performance! Learn more about the Upstate Regional Initiative here: nyfolklore.org/nysca-and-nyf-collaborate-on-upstate-regional-initiative/

A collaborative project with youth of the Schoharie River Center, Museum Association of New York, and the Smithsonian's Stories YES program is profiled in today's blogpost by the Museum Association. This year, New York Folklore will be working with multiple museums and folklorists to collect narratives that can be woven into the Smithsonian's Museum on Main Street's travelling exhibition, Water/Ways.

Join us at the Munson Williams Proctor Art Institute in Utica on Thursday, February 21st. New York Folklore is sponsoring the Art Alive performance of Oneida Dance, presented by Shako:wi Cultural Center. This family-friendly presentation beginning at 11:00 is part of New York Folklore's Upstate Regional Initiative, documenting the traditional arts and culture of the Rome/Utica area in 2018, in partnership with the Folk Arts Program of the New York State Council on the Arts, made possible through the support of Governor Andrew Cuomo and the NYS Legislature.
February's theme for First Friday Utica (2/1) at the Munson Williams Proctor Art Institute was Coffee and Tea traditions from 3 of Utica's communities - Lebanese, Dominican, and Bosnian. Thanks to Hannah Davis for putting it together as part of our NYSCA Upstate Regional Initiative and thanks to our 3 presenters for such delicious treats!
