Brooklyn Arts Council (BAC), in partnership with the Brooklyn Historical Society and The Interfaith Center of New York, will celebrate the 5th annual Brooklyn Folk Arts Day: Preserving and Demystifying Ritual and Ceremony in Brooklyn at the Brooklyn Historical Society. We welcome your participation in a demonstration/town hall meeting celebrating and strengthening folk and traditional arts in Brooklyn. Brooklyn Folk Arts Day is an annual gathering of Brooklyn’s traditional artists, traditional arts organizations and communities they serve, teaching artists and educators, funders, elected officials, and other friends of folk and traditional arts. Moderated by BAC Folk Arts Director Christopher Mulé and Dr. Henry Goldschmidt (ICNY), this year’s gathering will address ways to preserve, sustain, encourage, and demystify misconceptions surrounding traditional rituals and cultural ceremonies that occur in Brooklyn.
