Wickford Art Association Scholarship Program - Applications Being Accepted

2/12/2019

March is Youth Art Month and in celebration, The Wickford Art Association (WAA) will present its annual Scholarship Fund awards to three Rhode Island public high school senior art students with a fourth award presented by the Rhode Island Art Educators Association in March.

Each Rhode Island public high school chooses one college-bound senior art student for consideration. The competition uses National Scholastic Standards overseen by the Rhode Island Art Educators Association. The four winning students will receive cash scholarships in the amounts of $1,500, $1,000, $500 and with a fourth award from Rhode Island Art Education Association of $500 to use towards college. Winners also receive a one-year membership to WAA, a fine art exhibit in our gallery and exhibit space at the 57th Wickford Art Festival, ranked the #7 fine art festival in the country. This is an excellent, resume-building opportunity for college bound students. Interested students should speak with their art teachers about submitting their portfolio for consideration.

Call for Artists and Poets

The Wickford Art Association (WAA) is presenting a unique blending of two art forms at its 6th Annual Poetry and Art Show with a theme based on its mission statement of “Educate, Encourage and Inspire”. The Call for Artists and Call for Poets is now open to fine art artists and poets with a submission deadline of April 8, 2018. The Call for Artists and Call for Poets may be downloaded from www.wickfordart.org

This year, WAA is introducing an exciting reversal to the exhibit process. First, a jury committee will select 40 original, unpublished poems based upon the theme. Artists will also be chosen by jury based upon a portfolio of their work. Both artists and poets are juried anonymously. The poems will then be assigned to selected artists who will create original works of art, inspired by these poems. A limited edition, full-color book cataloging the exhibit will be published. One of the premiere poetry libraries in the country, The Poets House in New York City has accepted the 2018 Poetry & Art book for its library collection.

Heightening the excitement for this annual exhibit, poets and artists will not meet until just prior to the opening reception, held on September 14, 2018 at 6:30 PM at the Wickford Art Association. Poetry readings and related events will take place during the reception and the exhibit. The Poetry and Art exhibit will run from September 14 to October 14, 2018 and attendance to the reception and exhibit is free and open to the public.
