Offered annually, Folklife Apprenticeships support traditional arts education by funding a master and learner folk artist to work together for as long as one year.

During the grant period, the master artist passes down her or his knowledge to the learner.

Folklife Apprenticeships support living cultural traditions and are distinct from registered apprenticeships offered through the Maryland Apprenticeship Training Program (MATP), which supports workforce development. Click here for more information on MATP.
