- Date
- 1984
- Description
- One proof sheet with twenty-seven images plus negatives. George (Junior) Mills showing Owen the site of the Seminole annual Green Corn Dance near the El Maximo Ranch. Chickees (traditional Seminole dwellings) are visible. Images created as fieldwork for the apprenticeship program. The Folk Arts Apprenticeship Program began in 1983 with a NEA grant of $22,000. The program provided an opportunity for master folk artists to share technical skills and cultural knowledge with apprentices in order to keep the tradition alive. Apprentices must have had some experience in the tradition and agreed to train for at least six months. The first project director was Blanton Owen, who was later replaced by folklorist Peter Roller. The program was continued each year through 2003.
