Join NASAA and the National Endowment for the Arts for a look at the Arts Endowment’s most recent report, Living Traditions, the first-ever analysis of its Folk & Traditional Arts awards program. Arts Endowment Research & Analysis Director Sunil Iyengar and Folk and Traditional Arts Director Clifford Murphy discuss the program’s impact, especially in rural, high-poverty and historically marginalized communities. They also review the recommendations included in the report. State arts agencies play a pivotal role in sustaining and celebrating our nation’s cultural roots and living traditions, making this research especially relevant to our network.
