NY Folklore’s February events

Hear about activities coming up at New York Folklore in Schenectady. Their newly-renovated gallery space opens on 2/12 with a reception featuring “Young Traditions”: folks who have apprenticed with established artists to preserve their cultural heritages. That exhibit will be on view through mid-March. Anne Rappaport, “Staff Folklorist,” talks about that, about some of the arts and artists featured, and more. She also explains the event on 2/24 at the GE Theater in Proctors where grants from the New York State Council on the Arts (NYSCA) will be awarded to a number of artists. You can also hear how “foodways” are part of folklore, and the work that NY Folklore does in capturing cooking traditions, music, and more. For details, visit nyfolklore.org.
