The National Endowment for the Arts (“Arts Endowment”) awards a limited number of lifetime honors to individuals in recognition of their outstanding contributions to our nation’s diverse artistic heritage. Each year since 1982, the Arts Endowment has awarded NEA National Heritage Fellowship Awards to pay tribute and draw attention to the excellence and diversity of our nation’s folk and traditional artists. The one-time-only awards go to traditional artists from across the country in recognition of their significant contributions to a particular traditional art form and to the American public through their artistic work.
The purpose of this Program Solicitation is to select an organization (“Cooperator”) to assist the Arts Endowment with the 2022 NEA National Heritage Fellowship Awards program.
