The Folkus Project receives grant support toward programming from the Cultural Resources Council of Onondaga County. Thanks CRC!
Thanks to Sparky Town! Catering assistance for Folkus shows is provided by Sparky Town restaurant, at 324 Burnet Avenue (corner of Catherine St.). Great for lunches, Sparky is now serving early dinners on weeknights. We love Sparky Town! 422-8401 / website
In addition to the shows we present at May Memorial and the Westcott Community Center, we at Folkus seek other settings and other programming opportunities for the artists passing through Central New York. Many of the visiting performers, for example, are experienced teachers, as well, with programming especially appropriate to school children. Some performers give workshops on musical techniques and genres. Some have cultural, ethnic, or political emphases that are relevant to other organizations around town. We're looking for organizations in the area that would like to work with Folkus to create new, cooperative programming; or who would like to exchange promotional efforts to make our programming (and yours) better known in the area. If you represent a school or other educational organization, cultural or arts organization, community/neighborhood association, musical-interest group, or any other outfit for whom folk and acoustic music might represent a programming "fit," please e-mail community@folkus.org to start a dialogue. We're eager to get our programming into the community and doing good wherever you are. |
