The Bayou Culture Collaborative offers strategies to help ensure Louisiana’s cultural traditions are passed on to future generations.

The collaborative offers a way to connect anyone interested in the intersection of traditional culture, the arts, and science in the face of Louisiana’s land loss and the impact of migrations upon our culture in the coming years.

An initiative of the Louisiana Folklore Society (www.louisianafolklore.org), the Division of the Arts Louisiana Folklife Program (www.louisianafolklife.org), and the Louisiana Folklife Commission in collaboration with non-profit organizations and university groups, we produce workshops in addition to offering funds to organizations and individuals.

The Bayou Culture Collaborative is funded with support from the National Endowment for the Arts, the Louisiana Division of the Arts, Office of Cultural Development, the Department of Culture, Recreation and Tourism, and the Louisiana Endowment for the Humanities.
