We are so grateful to artists and audience who braved the forecast and came out for the 2019 Virginia Folklife Apprenticeship Showcase. The event featured a remarkable program switching seamlessly from old-time music to Vietnamese dan bao, from contortion to bluegrass, from dulcimer to house dance. The day was incredible and spirits were high! Check out these amazing images from photographers Pat Jarrett and Peter Hedlund:
