LOUISIANA FOLKLIFE PROGRAM

The Louisiana Folklife Program, within the Division of the Arts, is designed to identify, document, conserve, and present the folk cultural resources of Louisiana. Everyone and every group has folklore. Folklife includes living traditions, or folklore, practiced and passed on within groups, such as family, ethnic, occupational, and regional groups.

The Louisiana Folklife Commission, a 22-member body is appointed by the Governor to address the special needs of Louisiana’s traditional communities and advise the Folklife Program.
