I just read this on a newsletter I receive and have no
more information than I'm posting here:

Federal funds available

The National Endowment for the Arts has announced
guidelines for the Folk & Traditional Arts
Infrastructure Initiative
(http://www.nea.gov/guide/Folk02/Folkindex.html).

This initiative is designed to strengthen the state
and regional infrastructure of support for folk and
traditional arts. Priority will be given to those
projects with: 1) the greatest impact in expanding or
strengthening a state or region's support
infrastructure for folk and traditional arts, and 2)
the potential for long-term artistic impact.

For fiscal year 2002, the Folk & Traditional Arts
Infrastructure Initiative will support up to twelve
start-up folk arts positions at local arts agencies
and community-based cultural organizations.

Priority will be given to professional folk arts
positions that address the needs of previously
underserved geographic or cultural communities.
Positions should have the potential to become
self-sustaining within three years.

Visit http://www.nea.gov for guidelines and
application
forms.

Deadline: October 1, 2001
