About Folklife and Traditional Arts

民间生活是一种表现艺术、实践和生活方式，从一个社区中产生. 代代相传的民间生活成为那个社区的传统艺术. 传统艺术往往植根于一个地理位置和它的宗教, ethnic and occupational groups, 或者他们被移民和移民社区带走，因为他们在新的家园建立了自己. Folklife and Traditional Arts are the arts and 实践s of the people, and are typically taught through one-on-one training in a community setting.

Such 实践s include traditional music, 工艺品, 视觉艺术, 舞蹈, 艾治, calendar or life-cycle customs, 语言艺术, 治疗技术, 和职业技能.

What is a Mentor Artist and an Apprentice?

A 导师的艺术家 传统传承者是否致力于传承一种传统艺术形式或其文化遗产的实践. 导师艺术家被其他艺术家和他们自己的社区成员认为是熟练和专注的实践者. Applying 导师的艺术家s should demonstrate expertise, 教学经验, long engagement with their art form or 实践, and deep knowledge of their tradition.

An 学徒 是一个被艺术家导师选中，在导师的艺术形式或实践中持续学习一段时间的专心致志的学生吗.  学徒在开始学徒生涯之前，应该对导师的传统有一些过去的经验, 所以在一起的时间将帮助学徒在他们自己的精通之路上发展. Apprentices and mentors may be family members, and 学徒s may have studied under the 导师的艺术家 previously. 最坚固的一对会有一个共同的社区或宗教、种族或职业团体. 最优秀的学徒申请者还将有意向在未来通过培训他人来继续传播他们的艺术形式. 两个或三个学徒的团队有资格与一个导师的艺术家学习，如果这样的学习风格在传统中是可取的.

What Makes a Strong Application?

• When your application is reviewed by a panel, 他们会考虑你的申请材料和你的学徒计划的背景.
• 在他们的社区中，艺术家导师是否被认为是这一传统的践行者?
• Is the 学徒 committed to living and practicing among the regional, 文化, or artistic community from which this tradition comes?
• 是否有一种感觉，学徒制会导致导师和学徒之间持续的关系?
• Is there interest among others in your regional, 文化, or artistic community in seeing this tradition 实践d and taught?
• 这是否为导师和学徒提供了一个独一无二的机会去做一些在其他情况下不可能做到的事情?
• Is there urgency in supporting this mentorship opportunity (for example, age or health of 导师的艺术家, timing of participant schedules, convergence of other opportunities?)
• How 文化ly specific is the knowledge being passed on? Will this time together allow for deep transmission of knowledge? 例如, 建议教授你所在社区的音乐风格的具体细微差别, accompanied by teachings about that community’s history, 会比建议学习一种常用乐器的基础更强吗, even if that instrument is part of your music tradition. If the tradition is endangered and not widely 实践d, 然而, beginner instruction can make for a strong application.
