Traditional Arts

The Traditional Arts discipline is for organizations that preserve and present traditional arts from specific cultural groups. This includes performances, exhibitions, festivals, and other programming featuring traditional artists and their work.

Traditional arts are traditional cultural expressions through which a community maintains and passes on a shared way of life. These communities can be job-related, ethnic, religious, age-related, or based on location.

Traditional art expresses a sense of the community's values and aesthetics. Traditional art expressions are usually learned informally through a relative or the community and are maintained without formal teaching.

The Traditional Arts discipline includes many forms and processes of expression including, but not limited to:

• performing traditions in music, dance, and drama;
• traditional storytelling and other verbal arts;
• traditional crafts;
• visual arts; and
• architecture

Note: The Traditional Arts discipline is not intended for programming that focuses primarily on the following activities:

• research for scholarly purposes only;
• historical presentations or re-creations;
• contemporary studio crafts or reproductions

Applicants with such programming should consider applying to one of the other disciplines.

If you have any questions for the Traditional Arts program manager, email [e-mail] or call 850.245.6475.
