The Edmonds Arts Festival Foundation recently awarded $30,000 in scholarships to 15 area students, all of whom are pursuing higher education degrees in the Visual Arts. The 2019 scholarship winners were honored at a community reception on May 22 and represent Lynnwood High School, Meadowdale High School, Mountlake Terrace High School, Edmonds-Woodway High School, and Edmonds Heights.
In order to earn this scholarship, students present a portfolio of their work and are interviewed by a panel of judges. Interview questions focus on their academic work and goals. Students can re-apply each year they are enrolled in an accredited visual arts program.
Two additional prestigious annual scholarships were awarded: Shelby Norton received a scholarship from the Sambataro Family and Kristen Walker received a scholarship from the Pamela Mummy Foundation.
Every scholarship winner will exhibit their art during the Edmonds Arts Festival, June 14-16, in the Paintings Gallery at the Frances Anderson Center.
