Announcing The Kathryn Bryan Metts Scholarship 2012
The Pawleys Island Festival of Music and Art has announced the inaugural Kathryn Bryan Metts Scholarship. The winning applicant will receive a scholarship of $1,000 for one academic year.
The festival known for being an advocate of bringing top-notch music and art to the community has a track record of providing experiences and opportunities to local students. However, this is the first scholarship that the Pawleys Island Festival of Music and Art has ever endorsed.
In September 2010, the festival opened the “Remembering Kathy Metts Exhibit” at the Cheryl Newby Gallery, which showcased the original works of the dedicated artist. Now, the festival has established this scholarship in Metts’ honor. “Kathy’s paintings reflect an excitement for life and family, and I can’t think of a better way to honor her than through this scholarship,” said Delores Blount, Executive Director.
The Kathryn Bryan Metts Scholarship is only available to upper-level (junior, senior or graduate) students who are specializing in painting and drawing at a post-secondary institution. They must also be a native or present resident of Georgetown County, SC or Alamance County, NC.
The deadline to apply for the Kathryn Bryan Metts Scholarship is 5:00 PM, Friday, June 15, 2012.
