OpportunityTitle: NEA National Folklife Network, FY2021
Description: The purpose of this Program Solicitation is to select an organization (the &#8220;Cooperator&#8221;) to establish and administer the National Folklife Network. This Cooperative Agreement will begin no earlier than June 1, 2021, and may extend for up to 24 months. Program Description: For more than 50 years, the National Endowment for the Arts (Arts Endowment) has acknowledged the variety of ways that the folk &amp; traditional arts enrich everyday life. In recent years, the Arts Endowment has convened practitioners from across the country to discuss how to honor and sustain folk &amp; traditional artists and their communities. In Fall 2019, the Arts Endowment released Living Traditions, a portfolio analysis of the agency&#8217;s folk &amp; traditional arts program. The report identified significant gaps in the map of national arts funding for the folk &amp; traditional arts, centered primarily in seven regions within the United States (four rural and three urban). The report also articulated a need to identify and connect related organizations and individuals within each region to promote and strengthen the folk &amp; traditional arts.
