1P-1.009 Florida Folklife Apprenticeship Program.

(1) Folk artists are individuals who maintain traditions in creative and symbolic forms such as custom, belief, technical skill, language, literature, art, architecture, music, play, dance, drama, ritual, pageantry, and handicraft, which forms are generally learned orally, by imitation or in performance and are maintained or perpetuated without formal instruction or institutional direction.

(2) A function of the Florida Folklife Program is to promote Florida folklife through festivals, conferences, and seminars in which folk artists, folklife interpreters, and collectors are regularly engaged to perform or demonstrate. Because traveling expenses are often high, the Florida Division of Historical Resources (Division) may advance payment of expenses to individuals in the manner provided in Section 112.061, F.S., so as to facilitate the participation of those individuals who otherwise could not afford to attend. When making the decision to advance payment to an individual, the Division shall consider the individual's demonstrated financial need.

(3) The purpose of the Florida Folklife Apprenticeship Program of the Department of State is to preserves and promotes Florida’s cultural heritage by providing an opportunity for master folk artists to share their technical skills and cultural knowledge with apprentices who will carry forward these traditions. General information, application instructions, deadlines, application forms and methods of selection are set forth in the Florida Folklife Apprenticeship Program Guidelines and Application, which is herein incorporated by reference (Form #HR3E23 effective March 20, 2000xx-xx-xx (hyperlilnk).
