Medina County Art League - Scholarship Awards -

Medina County Art League has a raffle of donated artwork from participating artists in our Art in the Park event, held annually on the third Sunday in July. For several years, the league has added to the raffle earnings making the Scholarship Awards an outstanding amount of money for the students. This year is no different. We have set aside $2,600 to be distributed as follows: 1st Place - $1,000; 2nd Place - $700; 3rd Place - $550; and Honorable Mention - $350.

Scott Borror, Medina County Art League Scholarship Committee Chair, stated, “We are always happy to see such quality coming from the students. Since the teachers play a large part in the quality of work the students produce, I would like to thank them for helping their students develop their artistic abilities. Our challenge is to find the students who not only have talent but who can create with their heart.” We believe we have done this and are happy to announce the following MCAL 2015 Continuing Art Education Scholarship award winners:

For students entering portfolios, the format is similar to a graduating art major in college who is required to hold a senior show. Additionally, the Medina County Art League presents scholarship awards to the winners of its “High School Seniors Scholarships Program” during the Visual Art Festival. An outgrowth of the Visual Art Festival is a year-around rotating student artwork display on most floors of the South Medical Office Building.
