Project GrantsMaryland Traditions Project Grants support research and programming that adds significance to Maryland communities by encouraging and funding professionals as well as community scholars, organizations, and artists to document, preserve, sustain, and present Maryland’s traditional arts and culture. Program staff and partners will work with Maryland Traditions Project Grant recipients to provide technical assistance and identify networks to connect the project to other activities and resources. Past project grants have included the production of a public old-time fiddle competition, a row house arts festival hosted by a major museum, an oral history of oyster workers, a documentary film of traditional river baptisms on the Eastern Shore, an Arabber wagon restoration project, and a CD of a master traditional Irish button accordion player from Baltimore. Maryland Traditions is a program of the Maryland State Arts Council. Its mission is to discover, share and sustain our living traditions. Maryland Traditions receives support from the National Endowment for the Arts Folk Arts Infrastructure Initiative. Contact: Clifford Murphy, 410-767-6450 or Michelle Stefano 410-767-6570
