Overview
The Alliance for California Traditional Arts (ACTA) Apprenticeship Program contracts exemplary California-based master folk/traditional artists to provide intensive 6–12 month mentorship to qualified apprentices, sustaining the state's living cultural heritage. Historically, contracts of about $3,000 covered the master artist's fee, supplies, and travel (amount may have changed since). Applicants are individual master artists working with an apprentice in a specific cultural tradition.
