Judie Schmidlapp Scholarship Fund
In 2014, several of Judie Schmidlapp’s closest friends generously donated to the Art Association to create a scholarship fund in her name. Judie was a tireless advocate for visual arts education in our community and served on the Art Association board from 2009-2012. The Judie Schmidlapp Scholarship fund is a way to honor her vision by ensuring that learning visual arts is possible for people of all ages and abilities.

Harriet Minczeski Memorial Fund / Art Association Scholarship
The Harriet Minczeski Memorial Scholarship is awarded annually to a talented local High School Senior who plans to pursue visual arts in college.
