Wickford Art Association launches 2021 scholarship program

Posted

The Wickford Art Association (WAA) has opened the application period for the 2021 Scholarship Program, serving graduating high-school seniors who seek to continue art studies at the collegiate level.

This resume-enhancing scholarship is offered statewide to public and public-charter high school senior art students. Each high school in Rhode Island may refer up to four students, each representing a unique discipline: painting, drawing, 3D/mixed media, or photography. One outstanding art student in each medium will be selected, receiving a cash scholarship, a one-year student membership to WAA, and the opportunity to exhibit and sell work at the summer Wickford Art Festival on July 10- 11, 2021.

The application period extends to Wednesday, March 17, and students must obtain the endorsement of their school art teacher/instructor. The top four students will be awarded scholarships by the Wickford Art Association and RIAEA; each student is guaranteed a $500 scholarship, but more will be awarded depending upon the availability of funds. All four winners work will be exhibited at the Wickford Art Association’s Gallery from March 23 through April 3, and also offered as a Virtual Gallery at wickfordart.org. The 2021 Scholarship application is available at www.wickfordart.org and www.RIAEA.org now.

The 2021 Scholarship exhibit will run concurrent with WAA’s “Push-Pull-Print” exhibit for printmakers, which opens on March 12.

For more information, call 401-294-6840 or visit www.wickfordart.org.
