Traditional Arts ApprenticeshipsThe Maryland Traditions Apprenticeship Awards Program welcomes applications for apprenticeships in all forms of Maryland’s traditional expressive culture. The master artist and apprentice must both be residents of Maryland. Maryland’s practitioners of performance, traditional, and occupational arts make an enormous contribution to the vitality of our state by sustaining a broad range of cultural heritage for the benefit of our communities. Maryland Traditions Apprenticeship Awards encourage and foster transmission of traditional knowledge by a master artist to an apprentice, allowing these arts and skills to thrive. Traditional folk arts may include performing traditions in music, dance, and drama; traditional storytelling and other verbal arts; festival arts; traditional crafts, visual arts, architecture, the adornment and transformation of the built environment; and other kinds of occupational and material culture. 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
