Arts Mentorship Program Scholarships Grant

Lake Region Arts Council
Since its inception as an arm of the Rural Development Commission in 1977, Lake Region Arts Council (LRAC) has been committed to providing access to quality arts opportunities and programming. In its early years, LRAC offered only one grant program. Our current offerings include nine grant programs, a monthly newsletter, an online arts calendar, two art galleries, workshops and networking meetings, an artist registry, and technical assistance to arts organizations and artists.
The Arts Mentorship Program is an Arts Study Award for Students in Grades 8-12.
A limited number of students currently in grades 8, 9, 10, 11, and 12 are selected each year to be part of this one-of-a-kind student art program. Each study award is valued at $700 and pairs students with artistic professionals to help increase and enhance their skills. Awards are made on the basis of commitment and potential for artistic development.
Inclusive to ALL artistic mediums (i.e. visual arts, dance, creative writing, drama, music, design, media arts, etc.)
