Maryland State Arts Council Folklife Apprenticeships support traditional arts education by funding a master artist and apprentice artist to work together for one year. Grants are $5000. During the grant period, the master artist passes down their knowledge to the apprentice artist. In January 2024, Maryland Traditions staff hosted an information session on how to apply for the Folklife Apprenticeship, including application strategies. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DtJwJxT012M
