The Central Appalachia Living Traditions (CALT) Experiences grants fund public-facing projects and events in Appalachian counties of Ohio, Virginia, and West Virginia that bring community members together around folk and traditional arts practice and cultural knowledge. Funded projects will encourage broad public awareness, understanding, and appreciation of living traditions and/or grow and share artistic skill and cultural knowledge within the community. Because this program intends to diversify and expand the types of folk arts activities available throughout the region, applications must be for new projects or projects that expand and/or diversify existing programming.

Eligibility: Non-profit organizations and individual folk and traditional artists/practitioners in Appalachian Regional Commission-designated counties of Ohio, Virginia, and West Virginia

DEADLINE: March 10th, 2025
