Friends of YC Art Scholarships
Besides serving the needs of aspiring young artists, YC's terrific art department provides the greater community with on-going educational opportunities including adults who take courses for personal enrichment.
FRIENDS provides annual scholarships to students seeking a degree in Visual Arts. In addition, we fund the acquisition of special equipment, cases to display student work, and other items that enhance the program but are beyond the department’s reach.
