Free Folk Arts Workshops
In fiscal year 2024, the arts education program partnereded with our folk arts program to offer a free folk arts workshop program, Living Folk Arts for Kids and Adults. This program allows interested learners in schools, arts and community organizations, or museums to actively engage in the folk arts.
We have had a wonderful response to our Folk Arts Workshop series, and for the time being are not taking any more requests. Please email us if you have any questions: Jenna Ehlinger jehlinger@utah.gov, Elisha Condie econdie1@utah.gov
Poet Laureate's Student Broadside Project
Lisa Bickmore, the poet laureate for the State of Utah (appointed 2022-2027) has asked us to share an exciting project with the arts learning community. Thanks to an Academy of American Poets Fellowship, Lisa's micro-press is implementing civic project focused on engaging young people. This student project from Moon in the Rye introduces students to the art of creating broadisides, which combine writing with printmaking.
Lisa will work directly with Utah students, K-12, to create work centered on the environment—specifically the Great Salt Lake, but any water-related subject. She will visit classrooms and carry out writing and visual projects with prompts, instruction, and tools. She can work with teams of teachers in visual arts, language arts, and science as well, to bring this project to Utah students. She will work within local communities to stage events that allow students to exhibit and share the work they create.
This flexible project and can be adapted to fit many different needs and situations. If you are interested in bringing this project to your K-12 students, fill out this form to let Lisa know your needs and your questions.
