Traditional Arts Indiana (TAI), a partnership of the
Department of Folklore and Ethnomusicology and the Indiana Arts
Commission, seeks to identify, document, and present traditional
artists throughout Indiana. In 2001-02, TAI will focus on creating an
apprenticeship program with Indiana's master traditional artists,
designing programming for the Indiana State Fair, and collaborating
on plans to launch a statewide crafts market.
In this class, students have an opportunity to choose hands-on
participation in aspects of these initiatives (e.g., fieldwork,
planning exhibits and programs, media applications, publications) as
well as reflecting on their work through assigned readings and
journal writing.
