Texas Folklife Community Folklife Fellowship
The Community Folklife Fellowship Program is a statewide initiative supported by the NEA, designed to empower individuals from diverse regions and communities in Texas. Through immersive workshops and community partnerships, fellows learn the art of documenting community traditions, ensuring their preservation for future generations.
Fellows of the Community Folklife Fellowship Program are granted a stipend and the opportunity to train in oral history. They will also produce a podcast episode and share their knowledge by teaching a community workshop in their regions.
A carefully selected group of fellows will be chosen from the pool of applicants, representing different areas across the state.
