Nordic Folk Arts Fellowships and Grants Deadline September 15

The American-Scandinavian Foundation (ASF) is pleased to announce the opening of its 10th annual competition for Nordic Folk Arts & Cultural Traditions in the Upper Midwest (North Dakota, South Dakota, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, and the Upper Peninsula of Michigan).   

Two kinds of awards are available — fellowships for artists and grants for public programs and community projects. All of their grants encourage both the practice of folk arts and cultures and the presentation of these arts to public audiences.   

Through these fellowships and grants, ASF extends its reach beyond New York to foster the perpetuation of Nordic traditional arts and skills in the Upper Midwest, while also promoting cultural exchange between the U.S. and Nordic countries.
