MSAC's Folklife Apprenticeship Grant- Tamil Kolam

MSAC's traditional arts program, Maryland Traditions, has awarded $65,000 to artists in the state through the Folklife Apprenticeship grant. The funding supports the sharing of traditional arts skills from a master artist to an apprentice artist during a one-year teaching period. Thirteen grants of $5,000 each have been awarded for the 2022-2023 granting period to the teams listed, with master artists named first.

My daughter, Aishwariya and I will be working on the Indian traditional art form Kolam, its techniques and significance.
