NANAIMO ARTS COUNCIL SEEKS
ACHIEVEMENT AWARD WINNERS
The Nanaimo Arts Council is accepting applications for its Achievement Award program until March 30, 2014. The program provides financial aid for tuition, supplies and equipment to individuals furthering their studies in the arts at colleges, universities and educational workshops. The awards are open to all areas of the arts: performing, literary, visual, etc.
The Nanaimo Arts Council Achievement Award Program has given out over $51,000 to students in the Nanaimo area over the past sixteen years. Selections are made on the basis of talent, achievements to date, potential, long range goals and benefit to the community. Last year the Nanaimo Arts Council awarded a total of four thousand dollars to students for studies in graphic design, musical theatre, dance, vocal, jazz and theatre.
A number of Nanaimo Arts Council’s Achievement Award winners have gone on to successful careers in the arts. Former recipients include a featured violinist with the Vancouver Island Sympathy, a solo concert pianist, a singer with the Canadian Opera Company, and two dancers currently working with Ballet BC.
Application forms are available online at www.nanaimoartscouncil.ca, or the Nanaimo Arts Council gallery in Nanaimo North Town Centre. Applications must be submitted with all supporting documentation by March 30, 2014. Late entries will not be accepted.
