Society For Preservation

The Society for Folk Arts Preservation Inc. (SFAP), founded in 1977, is a not-for-profit educational and cultural organization dedicated to preserving visual craft techniques that are at risk of disappearing globally. Through the production of films, videos, and audiotapes, SFAP aims to document and disseminate these techniques for the benefit of artists, anthropologists, social scientists, and the interested public.

Formed by an international group of artists, visual anthropologists, art historians, and folklorists, the Society focuses on the continuity of quality in the visual arts, particularly within the realm of folk arts. Their primary interests lie in the intuitive art forms of traditional craftsworkers and the craft traditions passed down through generations.
