SOUTHERN FOLKLIFE ARTISTS

 

The Southern Folklife Artists area will introduce attendees, especially children, to a diversity of folk skills from basket weaving to quilting. The demonstrations at this year’s ACEF will show how products were once made in the absence of today’s technology.

Southern Folklife Artist sponsored by Stovall Marks Insuance.  It is located in the Down on the Farm Area sponsored by Regions Bank.

The Southern Folk Life Art exhibits have been made possible by grants from the Alabama State Council on the Arts and the National Endowment of the Arts. Partnering with the festival to help make this area available is the Alabama Folklife Association (www.alabamafolklife.org)
