33 RD ANNUAL You are invited to support Art scholarships! Each year we have a number of talented applicants we are forced to turn away due to a lack of funds. There are two avenues to provide support to young artists: • You may establish an Art scholarship fund in the name of your family, a loved one, business, foundation, club, or organization. Annual Art scholarship awards are $2,000, and you retain the flexibility to renew this gift each year. Or ASCHOLArRSHt IP • Make a gift of any size to the Art Patrons Scholarship Fund, and it will be combined with the support of others. Scholarships from this fund are awarded from these collective contributions.
