The Santa Clarita Artists’ Association will present scholarship awards Friday, May 1, at Barnes & Noble in Valencia. The event takes place from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m.; a free reception will follow the awards ceremony. The public is invited to the reception to congratulate the winners.
This is the 24th year of SCAA scholarships for talented high school senior artists in Santa Clarita Valley who are planning to continue their art education.
The candidates presented their portfolios and were interviewed by the committee for a chance to receive one of the three art scholarships awarded annually.
The winners are:
First – Michael Casteneda of West Ranch High School, $1,000.
Second – Alicia Yang of Saugus High School, $750.
Third – Robert Cortez Navarro of Golden Valley High School, $500.
“Let’s make an evening of it, enjoy light refreshments, support SCAA, our scholarship program, and the recipients with a large audiences to congratulate the winners,” said Pat Thayer, Chair of the Scholarship Committee.
“We saw the remarkable efforts of many high school students, specifically those who have set personal goals that include careers in the world of art,” Thayer said. “Thank you, teachers, for your efforts to teach, inspire and encourage your students. Each year we see evidence of your influences on your students as the level of excellence continues.”
“To the students, thank you for sharing your time and work with this committee. It is very exciting to see so many showing evidence of such creative thinking, solid training and wonderful talent.” Thayer said “We encourage you to continue your creative development, your art experimentation and your love of art. We wish you success in your training and in whatever avenue you pursue.”
A survey of SCAA members indicated that the scholarship program is an essential part of who we are as an organization. See www.santaclaritaartists.org.
