Mark Twain Days | Nevada State Folklorist Brad McMullen | Saturday | October 18th 2025 | FREE

Hello! My name is Brad McMullen and I’m the new Folklife Specialist at the Nevada Arts Council. It’s my job to support the folk and traditional arts in the state of Nevada. Now normally when I introduce myself that way, I tend to get some blank stares, because people aren’t always familiar with what the phrases “folklife” or “folk and traditional arts” means. So rather than sit here and ramble on about my credentials or what I’m planning to do in the position, why don’t I start by explaining some terms.

Join Brad and learn about folklore is, and what it means in Nevada.
