Oregon Folklife Network, which is Oregon's folk and traditional arts program, is looking for traditional artists in Curry County whom the Oregon Folklife Network should interview for their folklife survey on Oregon’s southwest coast (Coos and Curry counties) and at the Confederated Tribes of Coos, Upper Umpqua, and Siuslaw and the Coquille Tribe.

We’re in search of excellent folk artists and culture keepers; many of those we document will become part of our Culture Keepers Roster, an online curated resource for local festivals, parks, school, and library programs looking to hire performers, demonstrators, and speakers. We are also looking for master artists to serve as mentors for the Traditional Arts Apprenticeship Program. The project is part of an ongoing statewide survey that has so far recognized over 400 folk and traditional artists among the state’s federally recognized Tribes and across 33 of its counties.

NEA Funding for OFN—SW Coast Folklife Survey, 2020!

We’re excited to be starting our next folklife survey! The National Endowment for the Arts has awarded the Oregon Folklife Network funding to document culture keepers on the Southwest Oregon Coast. Folklorist Riki Saltzman will be conducting this fieldwork in Curry and Coos counties and with the Confederated Tribes of Coos, Lower Umpqua, and Siuslaw, and the Coquille Tribe of Indians.

OFN, Oregon’s Folk & Traditional Arts Program, is in search of excellent folk artists and culture keepers. We’ll include the best of those documented in our Culture Keepers Roster, an online curated resource for local festivals, parks, school, and library programs looking to hire performers, demonstrators, and speakers. We are also looking for master artists to serve as mentors for the Traditional Arts Apprenticeship Program. The project is part of an ongoing statewide survey that has so far recognized over 400 folk and traditional artists among the state’s federally recognized Tribes and across 33 of its counties.

OFN hopes to be working with a range of cultural partners such as the Confederated Tribes of Coos, Lower Umpqua, and Siuslaw Indians, the Coquille Tribe of Indians, Coos History Museum & Maritime Collection, Coos County Logging Museum, Coos Art Museum, Charleston Marine Life Center, and others as well as our operational partners (Oregon Historical Society, Oregon Arts Commission, Oregon Cultural Trust). We hope to partner with some of those organizations to create public programs with traditional artists in the region.

Please put us in touch with the traditional musicians, dancers, quilters, embroiderers, storytellers, fly-tiers, cooks, artisans, and others in your part of Oregon’s southwest coast. We very much want to hear from the range of the region’s communities—including but not limited to Asian and Pacific Islanders, the Confederated Tribes of Coos, Lower Umpqua, and Siuslaw Indians and the Coquille Tribe of Indians, African Americans, Latinos, and Europeans (English, German, Irish, Scottish, Norwegian); occupational groups involved in commercial fishing and processing, river rafting, and sport fishing as well as other waterways traditions, forest management, logging, hunting, dairy farming, wine-making, and tourism. Saltzman will also document foodways, music, storytelling, and other relevant cultural expressions.

To provide OFN with contact information for tradition keepers, contact Riki Saltzman, [email protected] or Emily West Hartlerode, [email protected]; or phone 541-346-3820.
