What We Offer

Since 1991, New York Folklore has served as the professional assistance and technical assistance provider for folk and traditional arts in New York State, responding to the needs of the field as expressed by the Folk Arts Program of the New York State Council on the Arts.  Programs provided through NYSCA’s support have served as national models.

New York Folklore provides topical workshops, convenings, and training opportunities, both in-person and virtually. These include focused gatherings of artists and community representatives and professional development workshops. Training is developed through New York Folklore initiatives but also in response to requests from New York’s cultural communities.

Opportunities are developed in response to community requests.  Please contact us for further information.
