Anyone can ask for a copy of the forms, or call or write at any time during the year to be put on the mailing list for information. The Folk Arts Program Coordinator can answer questions and help with the application either over the phone or in person. It is very helpful to send in photographs, cassette tapes and videotapes of the crafts or performances so the review panel can see and hear the quality of the work when they make their decisions. Apprenticeships run from July through February. The Folk Arts Program Coordinator will make a preliminary visit with each master and apprentice to set up the apprenticeship and complete necessary paperwork, and then make one or two more visits during the eight months to document the work with photographs and tape recordings, as a permanent record to be kept at the Folk Arts Archive in Carson City.
Arrangements are very flexible and can be set up to suit the individuals and art forms involved.
All participants will be featured in a booklet on the Apprenticeship Program which is produced each summer. The Nevada Folk Arts Apprenticeships Program is a project of the Nevada Arts Council with funding from the National Endowment for the Arts.
