New art scholarships offered at Southern State
By
-
To help fund a new arts scholarship at Southern State Community College, last summer the Lake Waynoka Civic Club and the Ohio Plein Air Society held an arts auction at the Lake Waynoka Art Festival in Brown County.
Twenty artists contributed artwork to the benefit auction, and a donation was made by James “Skip” Werline, director of the art department at Southern State.
According to festival coordinator Joanne Edwards, proceeds from the auction were used to establish two $500 scholarships to be used to cover tuition, books and/or art supplies.
The scholarship is limited to residents of Adams, Brown and Highland counties in Ohio, and of Bracken and Mason counties in Kentucky. Applicants must have a grade point average of 2.6 or higher and must be registered and attending full time at Southern State with an art focus (enrolling in at least one art course per quarter).
Determination will be made by the Lake Waynoka Civic Club Art Committee. Applicants must submit an application and a one-page artist statement. Finalists will be asked to present three to five original works of art at an interview session. The deadline for spring quarter is Feb. 15 (selection will be made by March 9), while the deadline for fall quarter is March 15 (selection will be made by May 1).
The two scholarship recipients will be invited to attend the next Art Paint-Out auction Aug. 20, 2011, at the Lake Waynoka Art Festival.
