New York Folklore is a non-profit organization based in Schenectady, New York, focused on nurturing traditional arts and culture within New York State through education, support, and outreach. The group serves the field of cultural heritage and folklore, aiming to connect communities with traditional arts and improve access to learning and participation in regional arts practices. As a small organization, it collaborates with partners such as the Mid Atlantic Arts Foundation to support events that celebrate diverse musical traditions, including bluegrass, old-time, and tamburitza from Balkan and Appalachian communities. The organization operates within the broader non-profit sector and appears to engage in activities that promote cultural preservation and public engagement with local artistic practices. A notable development in its recent activity was the partnership with Mid Atlantic Arts, announced in May 2019, which illustrates its role in fostering collaborations to sustain traditional arts ecosystems in the region.
