Our Scholarship Fund:
Children are our future, and "creativity is more important than intelligence," according to Albert Einstein. We believe there to be significant value in continued education in the Arts. It is commonly stated that the career path of an artist is seen as unsustainable, or not economically wise. However, with a quality education, and innovative application of skill, being a creative adult can certainly lead to a fulfilling and financially stable lifestyle.
Our scholarship fund aims to support a minimum of 4 higher education students per year with a $500 grant awarded to each discipline; Dance, Music, Theatre and Visual Arts. This can include, but is not limited to, sophomore or junior year students taking a summer course at a college or university, graduating seniors embarking on a degree in the Arts, or adult students returning to a campus to further their education.
We implore you to make a contribution today to aid in reaching our goal of $2,000 by the end of 2022 so that we may select four recipients next year.
