Folklife is a shared heritage rooted in everyday living, acquiring layers of meaning that make it both subtle and complex. To better understand Virginia's regional folklife, the Virginia Folklife Program visits communities throughout the State, conducting extensive interviews and participating in local gatherings and events, collecting valuable materials for future programming and documentary projects.
