For twenty-nine years, the Virginia Folklife Program at Virginia Humanities has presented, documented, and celebrated new and traditional cultures of Virginia, preserving treasured cultural traditions for future generations and reaching audiences across Virginia. From gospel singing to Mongolian mask making, from bluegrass banjo playing to oyster shucking, and from square dancing to soul food cooking, Virginia Folklife inspires the deepened understanding and continued creation of culture in our Commonwealth.
To share and sustain this dynamic cultural legacy, in 2018 Virginia Humanities created the Friends of Folklife annual giving circle. We sincerely thank the following “Founding Friends of Folklife” whose recent investments launched this important source of funding for the cultural life and connectivity of Virginia.
