Folklorist Retreat

Save the Date:  2012 Folklorists Retreat
The 2012 Mid Atlantic Arts Foundation Folklorists Retreat will be held on May 23-25, 2012 at the Gideon Putnam Resort in Saratoga Springs, New York.  The Foundation will be conducting the gathering in partnership with the New York State Folk Arts Roundtable and the Folklorists in New England. Retreat agenda and registration materials will be available later this winter.  For more information, please contact Sally Van de Water at sally@midatlanticarts.org.

The Foundation sponsors a bi-annual retreat for the region’s folklorists. This gathering gives academic, public sector and independent folklorists the opportunity to meet in an informal setting to network, share information about programs, and explore potential collaborations and partnerships. It is also an opportunity to share best practices, learn new skills, and gain exposure to new theoretical models. The location varies from year to year.
