The University of Connecticut Puppets Art Program

Old Songs
Old Songs, Inc. is a not-for-profit, educational, tax-exempt organization dedicated to preserving traditional music and dance. They are centered in Guilderland, New York, a suburb of Albany, the capital of New York State. Since its incorporation in 1977, Old Songs has met this mission by presenting concerts, dances, instrument classes, and the annual Old Songs Festival of Traditional Music and Dance. A working board of directors, a year-round office, and volunteer and business support underpin the effort. Our programs reach more than 12,000 people each year, inspiring them, it is hoped, to incorporate music or dance or storytelling into their lives.

National Storytelling Festival
The National Storytelling Festival is produced by the Storytelling Foundation International, and is co-owned by Storytelling Foundation International and the National Storytelling Network. Come hear the tales unfold beneath the big festival tents and under the gaze of nighttime stars in Jonesborough, Tennessee. A three-day extravaganza in October that renews an almost-lost art.

PAE offers funding opportunities for artist/school partnerships, monthly roundtables for education and training, training and professional development for teaching artists and classroom teachers, and an extensive web-based monthly newsletter sharing critical information, up-to-the-minute arts-in-education research, best practices, and success stories.
