MAC Folk Arts grants fund concerts, festivals, workshops, exhibits and other artistic events.
Currently funded organizations include small, medium, and large non-profit organizations in five Missouri regions. MAC follows the National Endowment for the Arts’ definition of folk and traditional arts: . .
. those rooted in and reflective of the cultural life of a community. Community members may share a common ethnic heritage, cultural mores, language, religion, occupation, or geographic region.
These vital and constantly reinvigorated artistic traditions are shaped by values and standards of excellence that are passed from generation to generation, most often within family and community, through demonstration, conversation, and practice. Genres of artistic activity include, but are not limited to: music, dance, crafts, and oral expression. Information about grant applications is available from the Missouri Arts Council .
