To be chosen for a National Heritage Fellowship is to be recognized as a kind of national treasure. The award is given by the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) and celebrates traditional and folk arts. Previous winners include folk and blues singers, woodworkers and potters. These are art forms that exemplify our past and present cultures and communities. 

That’s the kind of work recent NEA fellowship winner and master basket maker Ed Carriere has done over 89 years.
