Folk Alliance Region West (FAR-West) is the West-coast region of Folk Alliance International. FAR-West is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization incorporated in the State of California in 2003. The organization is run entirely by volunteers; there are no paid staff members.
FAR-West fosters and promotes traditional, contemporary and multicultural folk music, dance and related performing arts in the Western states.
FAR-West supports this mission through its annual conference each fall, one of five regional Folk Alliance Conferences. The annual FAR-West conference provides a three-day, music-filled weekend for the folk and acoustic music community to unite, exchange songs and ideas, re-charge and do business.
The goal of FAR-West is to strengthen the folk and acoustic community and facilitate networks and development.
Our conference program includes educational panels, workshops and collaborations, a Networking Exhibit Hall, Official Showcases and late night showcases run by participants.
Please explore our website to find out more about our activities, conferences and how you can get involved.
