Overview
Imagine being displaced from your home, be it from
war, poverty, or the promise of a better life somewhere else. Imagine
going to a new country, a country where you don’t understand
the culture, you don’t know the food, you don’t even
speak the language. Imagine trying to find work, go to school or
even navigate through a grocery store without possessing even the
most rudimentary knowledge of your new country’s culture.
Now imagine finding out about a folk art festival celebrating your
home country’s culture, finding a group that will help your
children understand their roots and friends who understand what
you’ve been through and what you’re going through. Thanks
to PPA Funding, the Bosnian Folk Singing and Folk Dancing Festival
has been able to do just that.
The
Pennsylvania Partners in the Arts (PPA) program provides opportunities
for arts organizations, individual artists and community based groups
to receive funding to support performances, exhibitions and other
arts projects that are presented to the public. The program is a
partnership initiative of the PA
Council on the Arts (PCA) and is administered locally by the
Arts Council of Erie. The Arts Council of Erie conducts the program
in Crawford, Erie and Warren Counties and is one of fourteen partners
throughout the state of Pennsylvania who provide this valuable service.
Past recipients of PPA funding through the Arts Council of Erie
include Edinboro University, Erie Opera Theatre, the City of Titusville,
Warren County Summer Music School and Penn State Behrend’s
Music at Noon series.
