Pieper Bloomquist (master pictured right) and Callie Stadem - Harpist (apprentice on left) received a Folk and Traditional Arts Apprenticeship Program grant in Norwegian rosemaling - the art, originating in Norway, of painting wooden furniture and objects with flower motifs. The two will continue to meet for the next few months. We can't wait to hear all about it!
NDCA's Folk and Traditional Arts Apprenticeship Program (https://www.arts.nd.gov/.../folk-and-traditional-arts...) honors and encourages the preservation of ND's diverse living traditions by providing funding up to $4,000 for master traditional artists to pass their skills and knowledge to apprentice(s) over an extended period of time
