Learning and Legacy at the Fund for Folk Culture: An Interview with Betsy Peterson

In 2009 the Fund for Folk Culture, a national intermediary serving the field of folk and traditional arts, suspended operations after eighteen years. Grantmakers in the Arts recently asked Amy Kitchener, Executive Director of the Alliance for California Traditional Arts, to interview Betsy Peterson, former Executive Director of the Fund for Folk Culture (FFC), about what led to this decision and to share some of the important experience the Fund gained during its years of operation.  The interview, published in GIA Reader, is available on Grantmakers in the Arts' website.
