About Local Learning

Local Learning began as the National Task Force for Folk Arts in Education during a 1993 folk arts roundtable at the National Endowment for the Arts. Today, it serves as a vital resource for educators, artists, and folklorists, advocating for the inclusion of folk arts in educational settings. By collaborating with national arts service organizations, Local Learning ensures that folk arts are represented in national conversations and policy initiatives.
