Museum of Art | Fort Lauderdale Holds Scholarship Competition to Help Budding Artists in Grades 1-12 Attend Summer Art Academy

From a first-grader’s crayon drawing of a tree to a 12th-grader’s detailed self-portrait, student artwork can show signs of budding artistic talent. 

The Museum of Art | Fort Lauderdale is offering children in grades 1-12 the opportunity to develop their artistic gifts during its 2009 Creative Summer Art Academy (CSAA). 

Running from June 8-August 14, Monday-Friday from 9:30 a.m.-3:30 p.m., CSAA offers students focused instruction by local, professional fine art instructors. 

Even better, the Museum is holding a merit- and need-based scholarship competition, allowing select students interested in CSAA to attend the Academy free of charge. 

On April 25 beginning at 9 a.m., students separated into grade groups 1-4, 5-8, and 9-12 will have up to two hours to create one drawing in the Museum’s Studio Annex. 

Registration will take place from 8:15-9 a.m. 

During the competition, participants’ parents are invited to enjoy complimentary refreshments in the Museum Café and a docent-led tour at 10 a.m. (parents will not have access to the Annex – faculty and staff will oversee the competition.) 

Scholarship funds were raised in part during the Museum’s National Art Festival held in January. All competitors will receive either a 10 percent discount or awarded scholarship applicable to all camp registrations received that day.
