New York Folklore

We at New York Folklore know that there are great financial needs right now, during the COVID-19 pandemic. We also know that we are only one of a great many organizations that are participating in Giving Tuesday. For more than 75 years, New York Folklore has worked to bring New York's traditional arts and culture to the forefront through advocacy, technical assistance and professional development, and through supporting the work of folk artists, folk cultural specialists, and grassroots community organizations to better sustain themselves and their communities. Please consider New York Folklore this Giving Tuesday. Your donation - no matter how small - makes a difference to our efforts in New York State. https://nyfolklore.org/donate/

Today is "Small Business Saturday." When you shop at the New York Folklore gallery at 129 Jay Street, Schenectady, you not only support the non-profit service organization, but you also directly support a folk and traditional artist in New York State as everyone in the gallery shop is on consignment. Come out also and see the exhibition of Chinese brush painting by Capital Region artist, Zhong-hua Lu. https://nyfolklore.org/events-and-exhibitions/

New York Folklore's latest blog is by guest-blogger Torkom Moysesiyan, who writes about the traditional Egyptian dance, Saidi. Thanks Torkom, for your scholarship! https://nyfolklore.org/egyptian-saidi-dance/
