As an independent Federal agency, the NEA celebrates the arts as a national priority, critical to America’s future. More than anything, the arts provide a space for us to create and express. Through grants given to thousands of non-profits each year, the NEA helps people in communities across America experience the arts and exercise their creativity. From visual arts to digital arts, opera to jazz, film to literature, theater to dance, to folk and traditional arts, healing arts to arts education, the NEA supports a broad range of America’s artistic expression. Throughout the last 50 years, the NEA has made a significant contribution to art and culture in America. The NEA has made over 147,000 grants totaling more than $5 billion dollars, leveraging up to ten times that amount through private philanthropies and local municipalities. The NEA further extends its work through partnerships with state arts agencies, regional arts organizations, local leaders, and other Federal agencies, reaching rural, suburban, and metropolitan areas in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, special jurisdictions, and military installations.

  • A Music Lover's Getaway in Virginia
    A Music Lover’s Getaway in Virginia Virginia’s music roots go deep and continue to have a wide-reaching influence around the country and the world. Virginia’s Heritage Music Trail, The Crooked Road (map below), is a nearly 300-mile self-driving trail that twists and turns its way through the Appalachian Mountains from the Blue Ridge Mountains to the Coalfields region, following U.S. Route 58. This trail connects major heritage music venues, such as the Birthplace of Country Music Museum, the Blue Ridge Music Center, and the Carter Family Fold. Music genres along the trail range from traditional gospel, bluegrass, and mountain music – all passed down through the generations. In addition to music, the towns located along the trail feature a variety of handcrafted artisanal treasures at numerous quaint stores and workshops, inviting you to stop in and browse. Day 1 – Abingdon & Bristol Your gateway to Southwest Virginia and The Crooked Road begins at the Southwest Virginia Cultural Center & Marketplace, located in Abingdon, where you will be introduced to the craft music, food, and culture that make Southwest Virginia such a unique destination. While in Abingdon, visit the The Barter Theatre, the State Theatre of Virginia. Opened during the Great Depression and named for the barter system that allowed locals to trade food for attending a performance, it is the nation’s longest running professional theatre. For outdoor adventure, rent a bike and explore the Virginia Creeper Trail, a popular rails-to-recreation trail. Next up is Bristol, the congressionally designated official Birthplace of Country Music and home to The Birthplace of Country Music Museum (pictured right), an affiliate of the Smithsonian Institution.

Through various points of view and story lengths, I interweave several story lines to span over a time period of about twenty years. Themes of change and regret are prevalent in these stories, as each of these four women must make, or refuse to make, choices that will impact their lives. I modeled my collection after Jennifer Egan’s A Visit from the Goon Squad, using individual short stories that share the same group of characters to tell a novel-length story. The ten stories included in my thesis will comprise about three-fourths of the novel, and I will add several more to it following my graduation.

  • Tapes Press Release
    Carter Family Memorial Music Center, Inc. A nonprofit organization P. O. Box 111, Hiltons, VA 24258 Press for release November 17, 2010 Release HISTORIC TAPE COLLECTION RETURNED TO THE CARTER FAMILY FOLD The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill has returned to the Carter Family Memorial Music Center, Inc., in Hiltons, VA, the collection of audiocassettes and DAT tapes of live performances recorded at the Carter Fold from 1981 through 2004, that had been given to the University. The legality of the “gift agreement” transferring the collection from the Carter Fold to the university had been the center of controversy since 2007. Howard Klein, president of the CFMMC board, expressed relief at having the collection returned. “We are glad they are back,” he said. “The Carter Fold tapes are a rich legacy of music at the Fold covering a 25-year period. They are a priceless record of Original Carter Family songs and of Appalachian culture. They document the tireless work of our founder, Janette Carter, who fought to preserve her family’s music and their place in history. The performers on the tapes are a Who’s Who of Blue Grass and Old-Time music. They include Janette Carter, singing and accompanying herself on the autoharp, her brother Joe, her Uncle Ermine and her Aunt Sylvia. We hope to be able to share these recordings widely, once they have been preserved and transferred to stable formats.” Other performers on the tapes include Johnny Cash, June Carter Cash, Marty Stuart, the Red Clay Ramblers, Marc Pruitt, the Home Folks, The McLain Family Band, John McCutcheon, Bryan Bowers, Elizabeth Cotton, David Morris, Doc Smiddy & Reedy Creek, Doc Watson & Blueridge Express, Dixie Dewdrops, White Top Mountain Band, and the Stevens Family, to name but a few.
