Awards Information
The 2010 Arts Carleton Place Award Program has changed. The Board has decided to offer a $500 bursary at each high school to a deserving student who has shown an interest in the arts. The previous monies that were allocated to this program have been directed to our 2010 pilot project, "Express Yourself". This is a week-long arts program at public schools to offer children a hands-on experience in the visual and performing arts. Local artists and performers will be the instructors.This program will conclude with a showcase highlighting the works and performances of the students at a recital/exhibition.
Eligibility:
The 2007 Opportunity Award which is presented to a practicing artist in the community goes to Anne McRae, a local songwriter and musician.
The Student Bursary Awards are offered to local high school students who have been accepted into an arts related program at a Post-Secondary School.
The 2007 recipients are Matthew Clement from Carleton Place High School who is going to be studying visual arts at York University and Danielle Smith from Notre Dame High School who plans to study graphic design at the Ontario College of Art and Design.
