Texas Folklife is a statewide performing arts organization based in Austin, Texas, dedicated to presenting, preserving, and promoting the traditional music, arts, and culture of the state. Its mission is to entertain and educate while safeguarding Texas traditions for future generations and to foster shared understanding among diverse communities through the arts. Its activities span cultural events, traveling programs, and gallery exhibits across the state and beyond, including productions like Border Radio for public radio. Its educational initiatives include Stories from Deep in the Heart, connecting Texans with artists, craftspeople, storytellers, and musicians who help pass along traditional practices. It also offers apprenticeships that pair master artists with mature students and collects and preserves oral histories, photographs, and audio-visual materials for research, media, and exhibitions. In addition, Texas Folklife presents exhibits at its public gallery in Austin and through partner galleries statewide, such as Yard Show, Taquerias of Southmost, and Fritos Pie; in March 2026 the organization announced the appointment of Ariel M. Cooksey as Grants & Development Strategist.
