Do you love the Newfoundland & Labrador Folk Festival? Are you passionate about preserving and promoting the folk arts of our province? Do you believe you have the skills and vision to continue the work of rebuilding and restoring our programming? Then we want to hear from you!
The interim NLFAS Board stepped in at a difficult time, with significant financial challenges, outstanding debts, and uncertainty about the future of the Folk Festival. With the tremendous support of our community and funders, plus a heck of a lot of hard work, so much has been accomplished, setting a solid foundation for the next board to move the organization forward.
Applications are now open for the NLFAS board of directors. For more information and to apply please visit https://nlfolk.com/board-nomination/ .The new board of directors will be presented for approval by the membership at the society’s AGM in November.
The Newfoundland & Labrador Folk Arts Society (NLFAS) is a charitable organization located in St. John’s, Newfoundland, Canada whose mandate is to celebrate, preserve, and promote the traditional and contemporary folk arts of our province at home and away, through public outreach and events, including our annual Folk Festival.
Active since 1966, the organization presents educational and cultural events that provide artists with the opportunity to showcase their work and that engage our youth and the general public in the transmission of our intangible cultural heritage.
