Goals of the summit are to have participants share opinions about the sector, contribute to a cohesive growth strategy for Maine Folk, strengthen their own networks, and enjoy the great folk arts leaders of Maine.

The summit will offer a facilitated discussion of Maine folk leaders followed by breakout conversations focused on specific topics.

The Maine Folk Alliance is composed of members of the Folk Arts community who believe that the traditional music of Maine can be enriched through stronger networks of those who teach, perform, and build events featuring folk music. Modeled on Folk Arts International and NERFA, the group has six areas of concentration to achieve its mission.

1. Education
2. Networking
3. Advocacy
4. Professional development
5. Field development
6. Consumer development
