In the Schools …

Friday morning, several hours before the Richmond Folk Festival kicked off, seven of its performers began their day by visiting nine Richmond Public Schools (RPS). Returning for the first time since COVID, this longstanding program of the Richmond Folk Festival once again filled RPS auditoriums and classrooms with performances and presentations of deeply rooted cultural expressions shared by some of the country’s finest traditional artists. This program not only exposed young people to performances by excellent artists; it also provided them with opportunities to learn about new cultures, communities, and artistic traditions, expanding their horizons with interactive, multicultural learning experiences.
