Folklife Network

The Folklife Network is a formal granting program growing from recommendations by folklife artists, folklife specialists, and other cultural workers during program revision activities facilitated by MSAC in 2019. The need for a Folklife Network granting program is based on foregoing long-term and short-term collaborations between Maryland Traditions program and organizations supporting the traditional arts in Maryland.

Upon execution of grant agreement, payment will be processed for receipt in 6-8 weeks. 

Grantees are required to submit a final report at the completion of the funded project. For detailed reporting requirements, please see the Grant Guidelines.
