Talbot Arts is now accepting applications for its summer arts scholarship program for Talbot County high school and middle school students. We want to give students summer arts experiences to enhance their exploration of the arts.
These scholarships provide students with artistic promise opportunities to participate in summer arts education programs to learn more about various art forms and develop their creativity. Students can use them for classes or private lessons, camps, workshops, and masterclasses. Eligible areas of study include animation, band, ceramics, dance, graphic design, filmmaking, music performance, songwriting, drawing, jewelry design, quilting, weaving and fiber arts, photography, painting, printmaking, sculpture, theatre, voice, opera, or other areas of artistic interest.
Talbot Arts is very committed to the spirit of these scholarships. Tuition cost may create a barrier to deserving students and their ability to participate in the arts. There is no specific dollar limit to individual scholarship requests. We award summer arts scholarships to eligible students based on the number of students in the applicant pool and the funding we have available Over the past three years, students applying for scholarships received one hundred percent funding for programs of their choice. After reviewing the applications, the Talbot Arts summer arts scholarships committee forwards their recommendations to the Talbot Arts Board for final approval. Talbot County and the towns of Easton, St. Michaels, and Oxford provide the summer art scholarship funds.
Talbot Arts places a high priority on the scholarship program as it helps students stretch the boundaries of their skills and talents.
“For art to remain a significant part of our community, we must pass it along to the younger generations,” said Joan Levy, Executive Director of Talbot Arts. “We are committed to providing financial support for programs where Talbot County students can learn, grow, and create.”
Talbot Arts accepts applications through May 30 or until scholarship funds are no longer available.
