EAA Scholarship Application Process
To: Home School Students
From: Elgin Arts Association
My purpose in writing this is to let you know both about the Scholarship
Application process and the possibility of participating in the next
Pearls Art Show.
Elgin Arts Association is pleased host the Pearls Before Swine Art Show
and Silent Auction. The event is held the Thursday prior to Hogeye
weekend.
The show’s main purpose is to showcase some of the finest works of art
in our area. The 2010 show was a huge success partly thanks to the
addition of youth participation in the show.
The silent auction, with items generously donated by area merchants and
artists, generated funds for scholarships for Elgin area students
wishing to continue their education in the arts.
Scholarship Program: Two $1,000 scholarships will be awarded to
graduating seniors who wish to continue their education in the arts.
Applicants will be considered who attend either of the High Schools in
Elgin or home school students who live within a 15 mile radius of Elgin.
The Scholarship
application is attached for your convenience. The application
deadline is Friday April 1st, 2011.
Pearls Before Swine Art Show: Last year was the first time that there
was a youth component to the show. We were totally amazed at the quality
of work being done by our youth and were so pleased to be able to help
it be shown.
There is no entry fee for youth. The show this year will be on October
20th. I mention this so early so that students can work toward
completing work for the show. The application for the show can be found
at the city of Elgin’s website:
