Traditional Arts Indiana

-



I was browsing the Internet when I came across this great organization with a great website. Traditional Arts Indiana is a partnership of Indiana University's Folklore and Ethnomusicology Department and the Indiana Arts Commission. It was established in 1998 to document, promote and present Indiana's traditional art and artists. They produce many public programs, train in cultural documentation and public presentation, and archive materials for public use at the Indiana Historical Society.





Check out their website at www.traditionalartsindiana.org. They have an amazing slide show section with tons of photos and audio, plus information on all the programs they offer.
