Young Artist Scholarship
At Studio 1.6, we are dedicated to nurturing young talent in the visual arts. We offer instruction in drawing, painting, and sculpture for children who love to express themselves creatively, as well as for youth preparing for careers in the creative fields. We believe it is vital to support emerging artists from an early age and give them the opportunity to develop their skills throughout their formative years.
Imagine if Leonardo da Vinci had never received art education—or if Steve Jobs hadn’t taken that college calligraphy class, which helped shape the elegant design ethos that Apple is known for today. Artistic training doesn’t just serve artists; it fuels innovation across all disciplines.
The creativity fostered through art education truly shapes the world around us. That’s why we created the Young Artist Scholarship Program—to provide access to meaningful art instruction for students who might not otherwise have the opportunity. Every dollar donated goes directly toward scholarships for young artists.
This initiative began during the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic, when one of our adult students generously offered to sponsor a young artist whose family was struggling financially. Their kindness sparked a program that continues to open doors for aspiring creatives.
