The Society for Folk Arts Preservation, Inc. (SFAP) is a non-profit organization established in 1977 with the aim of safeguarding and documenting endangered visual craft techniques worldwide. Through the creation of films, videos, and audio tapes, SFAP preserves and shares these techniques for the benefit of artists, anthropologists, social scientists, and the general public.
Founded by a diverse group of international artists, visual anthropologists, art historians, and folklorists, SFAP focuses on recording the intuitive art of traditional craftsworkers and the intergenerational craft traditions that continue to thrive. With a broad scope encompassing still-living traditions, SFAP recognizes the importance of capturing and preserving these cultural expressions for future generations.
