The New Jersey Folk Festival has been approved for a $20,000 National Endowment for the Arts Grants for Arts Projects award to support its 2022 in-person programming “On the Move: Transportation and Migration” on April 30, 2022, at Rutgers University-New Brunswick.
This public humanities project brings together students, community members, and faculty to feature collaborative research, storytelling, and performances that highlight the contributions of diverse arts and cultures of New Jersey. The New Jersey Folk Festival project is among 1,248 projects across America totaling $28,840,000 that were selected to receive this first round of fiscal year 2022 funding in the Grants for Arts Projects category.
“The National Endowment for the Arts is proud to support arts projects like this one from The New Jersey Folk Festival that help support the community’s creative economy,” said NEA Acting Chair Ann Eilers. “The New Jersey Folk Festival at Rutgers University is among the arts organizations nationwide that are using the arts as a source of strength, a path to well-being, and providing access and opportunity for people to connect and find joy through the arts.”
