Washington State is home to a rich variety of folk and traditional artists from communities throughout the state. This online program will introduce you to a sampling of this diverse tapestry. Search for artists by name, ethnicity, location, or art form. You can also find them in relationship to the Washington State Arts Commission’s Folk Arts program(s) in which they participated.
