Folk and Traditional Arts Apprenticeship Program | Council on the Arts, North Dakota Folk and Traditional Arts Apprenticeship Program The deadline for FY27 has passed. The application window for FY28 will open in February 2027.
The Folk and Traditional Arts Apprenticeship program honors and encourages the preservation of North Dakota's diverse living traditions by providing funding up to $4,500 for master traditional artists to pass on their skills and knowledge to an apprentice(s) over an extended period of time.
Traditional and folk arts are shared creative expressions of identity passed from generation to generation within a family, community, region, tribe, ethnic group, occupation, or religion. Forms of traditional expression include craft, technical skill, music, dance, and ritual celebration. These art forms are usually passed from one individual to another informally, by word of mouth or by example.
A master may apply for and receive more than one grant if circumstances warrant, especially if the projects involve different artforms. First-time applicants are encouraged to contact the program officer if they have questions while preparing the application. The program officer can assist with eligibility questions and project idea development and goals.
