Summer Art Workshop

The Heard Museum Guild, in partnership with the Heard Museum and Arizona State University West, annually offers 10 high school students an expanded opportunity to explore art in a higher education setting. Students selected for the week long Summer Art Workshop live on campus, work with professors and artists, network with other native students and explore creative processes in a variety of media. The workshop culminates with an exhibit of the week's work and a luncheon for parents and guests. For many, this is a life defining experience that inspires their decision to enroll in college and is the first step in their career as professional artists.

Students in grades 10 through 12 who have submitted artwork for the current Student Art Show and Sale are selected by a panel of judges from their entries to the show. Invitees are asked to write a personal statement indicating their educational and artist goals and submit recommendations from two teachers.

For further information, please contact: Beverly Chapman, Workshop Chair, 480-598-0456 or studentartworkshop@heardguild.org.

Scholarship Awards

American Indian high school seniors who have applied to a college or other post-secondary institutions and who are participating in the Guild's current American Indian Student Art Show and Sale are eligible to apply for a Guild Scholarship. Scholarships are awarded in varying amounts with a maximum award of $1,250 to each scholarship winner. Written applications for scholarships must accompany the art work being entered in the current show. Both the application and the artwork must arrive at the Heard Museum by 4:00 PM on March 20, 2012.

Scholarship winners may be eligible to apply for a scholarship renewal to continue their education for a second year. The renewal will be subject to acceptance by the scholarship committee based upon the applicant's academic record, recommendations by the applicant's college or post-secondary instructors, and the availability of Guild funds.

Award winners will be notified in May of 2012, but proof of acceptance and actual enrollment in a college or other institution of higher learning will be required before funds are released.

For further information, please contact: Emma Sansone, Scholarship Chair, at 480-699-8471 or studentartscholarships@heardguild.org.
