This publication addresses folk art in various communities and how the Smithsonian Festival of American Folklife of 1967 sparked a revived interest in folk art traditions. It further explores how traditions are passed on and have been preserved for future generations.

“Folk arts are the cultural seed corn of our nation’s diverse heritage. The partnership between the NEA and state arts agencies has nurtured a broad range of cultural expressions that nourish other programs.” (pg. 10)

Art is our human birthright, our most powerful means of access to our own and another’s experience and imaginative life. In continually rediscovering and recovering the humanity of human beings, art is crucial to the democratic vision.

FRISNER AUGUSTIN MASTER DRUMMER (March 1, 1948 – February 28, 2012) Frisner Augustin was a major performer and composer of Haitian Vodou drumming, and the first and only citizen of Haiti to win a National Heritage Fellowship from the National Endowment for the Arts in the United States, where he resided for forty years. A youth prodigy on the traditional drums of Haitian Vodou in ritual context, Augustin took his genre to the modern stage, often exploring its common roots with various jazz styles. From his initial forays in Haiti with Lina Mathon Blanchet, Jacky Duroseau, and Jazz des Jeunes, he went on to work in the United States and Europe with Kip Hanrahan, Edy Brisseaux, and Andrew Cyrille. He also recorded for filmmaker Jonathan Demme." READ MORE: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frisner_Augustin The Intimate Touch by Frisner Augustin La Troupe Makandal, Inc. "The compositions on this album share more than a dozen styles of classic, sacred Haitian drumming through the palms, the fingertips, and the soul of an award-winning musician." http://www.cdbaby.com/m/cd/frisneraugustin *Full album notes with analysis of the artist's style are available free at makandal.org/memorial-project/recordings.

“Design 1935-1965 What Modern Was" Original poster from The Baltimore Museum of Art June 7-August 2, 1992. I saw this exhibition in Baltimore during the summer of 92. Talk about the "WOW" factor and the early indicator of what modern design to collect for future investment! • • • • • #tapiowirkkala #isamunoguchi #alvinlustig #arnejacobsen #thebaltimoremuseumofart #whatmodernwas #design #craft #finecraft #baltimore #maryland #originalposter #mauricebeaneartanddesign #ibmcorporation #nea #nationalendowmentforthearts (at Richmond, Virginia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CC7ZLx1H8eS/?igshid=y19s5gllhruh

Announcing | Keep NYS Creating Project Grant Recipients

The Keep NYS Creating program is helping to support 42 projects from across New York State.

New York Foundation for the Arts (NYFA), in partnership with New York State Council on the Arts (NYSCA), is proud to announce the recipients of the Keep NYS Creating Project Grant. The program was established to help artists in Western New York, Finger Lakes, Southern Tier, Central New York, North Country, Mohawk Valley, Capital District, Mid-Hudson, and Long Island continue their creative projects that have been interrupted due to the COVID-19 pandemic. It is made possible by NYSCA, with the support of the National Endowment for the Arts.

The Keep NYS Creating Project Grant was open to artists who previously applied to the NYSCA/NYFA Artist Fellowship program in 2018, 2019, and/or 2020 who work in the categories of Architecture/Environmental Structures/Design, Choreography, Craft/Sculpture, Digital/Electronic Arts, Fiction, Folk/Traditional Arts, Interdisciplinary Work, Music/Sound, Nonfiction Literature, Painting, Photography, Playwriting/Screenwriting, Poetry, Printmaking/Drawing/Book Arts, and/or Video/Film.

The grant will enable 2D, 3D, and installation artist Elisa Pritzker (Mid-Hudson) to design a print a full color catalog of an installation that was unveiled ABClatino Art Space in Poughkeepsie, NY in March 2020 and has since gone unseen due to COVID-19. It will enable poet Jacob Rakovan (Finger Lakes) to perform a cycle of poems that were recently awarded the Thornwillow Press Patron’s Prize, bringing the work to new audiences. Painter Suzanne Onodera (Southern Tier) will use the grant to complete a project that illustrates the emotional landscape of the paternal and maternal sides of her Japanese American family who were and were not incarcerated under Executive Order 9066 during World War II. 

For Onodera, receiving the Keep NYS Creating Project Grant “feels as though you can take that extra mile in the pursuit of your work, that someone out there believes in your vision, and most importantly: that you can keep creating.”

THANK YOU!! We needed this boost!! With the loss of our big summer musical, other events and several wedding receptions, it is tough to pay the bills. However we just learned that we will receive a $5,000 Wisconsin Arts Board CARES grant to help cover our bills! This award is made possible with additional CARES Act funding from the National Endowment for the Arts. As a form of emergency support, it recognizes the extreme difficulties that arts organizations are facing due to the COVID-19 pandemic. #grateful #wisconsinartsboard #nationalendowmentforthearts #heydecenter #lifesaver #supportsmallbusiness #supportlocal #supportthearts #supportartsvenues (at Heyde Center for the Arts/Chippewa Valley Cultural Association) https://www.instagram.com/p/CCMblVOsoS2/?igshid=rjxjunjb7tt3

Now, technically speaking this piece doesn’t quite fit in our archive, so if you’re on the @umass campus you can view this piece outside the @umassfac lobby (Haigis Mall)! This #featurefriday piece is entitled “Quinnipiac” (although students fondly refer to it as Bacon Pants) by Canadian Artist Robert Gray Murray. The sculpture was made in 1975 out of painted Cor-ten steel 1 inch plate, and purchased with funds from The National Endowment for the Arts, Alumni Association, and the Student Arts Council! #quinnipiac #robertgarymurray #robertmurray #1975 #sculpture #steelsculpture #baconpants #umassamherst #umass #fac #finearts #fineartscenter #haigismall #canadianartists #nationalendowmentforthearts #alumniassociation #studentartscouncil (at UMass Fine Arts Center) https://www.instagram.com/p/By_Mv5Mhwsg/?igshid=q7pxleyuftyc

Art keeps me sane. It levels me, grounds me, makes me feel like a whole person. If there's one thing I hope my son learns from his mother, it's the idea that art not only adds beauty to life, it also adds meaning and gives us a way to share our ideas, hopes, and dreams. I want him to grow up seeing the ABSOLUTE NECESSITY for great art, literature, theater, and other forms of artistic expression. #art #literature #dance #nationalendowmentforthearts #poetry #painting #acting #theater #film #sculpture #breathe
