Celebrating Cambodian and Slovak Cultural Traditions

We're less than a month away from the 2015 NEA National Heritage Fellowships awards ceremony and concert! Did you know you can watch two ways? Join us live in Washington, DC (click here for free tickets) or watch the livestream on arts.gov. Today on our Pinterest page we're highlighting two of the master artists we're celebrating at this year's events. Yary Livan is a Cambodian ceramicist whose work includes not only the masterful crafting of Khmer ceramics but a committment to teaching, advocacy, and preservation of Cambodian artistic cultural heritage. Sidonka Wadina is a Slovak straw artist and egg decorator who learned straw painting and egg decorating from her grandmother. You can learn more about Livan, Wadina, and the other 2015 NEA National Heritage Fellowships here. You can visit our Pinterest page to see artwork by both Wadina and Livan. Here's a sneak peek of what you'll find.
