Traditional Arts & Folklife Listing

Artist Fees:
The individuals and groups on the Listing set their own fees for presentations. However, the New Hampshire State Council on the Arts recommends an honorarium of at least $150 to $200 per day for an individual and $450 to $600 for a group of three or more. Additionally, presenters are encouraged to pay individuals and groups for mileage traveled based upon the federal rate, which can be found at www.gsa.gov/mileage. When asking individuals and groups to travel more than 1½ to 2 hours driving distance from their home, we encourage presenters to provide appropriate lodging and meals.

Inclusion of Community Scholars and Folklorists in Projects:
Presenters and sponsors are encouraged to include community scholars or folklorists in developing and presenting traditional artists. These cultural specialists can be very helpful in developing educational materials, setting a cultural and historical context for presentations, and providing other information that helps educate audiences regarding the importance, beauty, and complexity of traditional arts and culture.

Grant Support:
Traditional Arts Project Grants and Mini Grants can be a source of funds for non-profit organizations that want to include traditional artists, community scholars, and folklorists in programs. Click here for a chart of grant application deadlines.
