2022-2023 West Virginia Folklife Apprenticeship Participants
Seven apprenticeship pairs from across the Mountain State have been studying and practicing traditions including soul food cooking, fiddle repair, and mushroom foraging.
To continue our mission of promoting a vigorous program in the humanities statewide during the COVID-19 pandemic, the Humanities Council developed original online programming.
Please support the historic MacFarland-Hubbard House, our headquarters. The property serves as an active programming venue, and is itself an important community landmark.
