Community Art Matters Award

Amount

$1,500

Description

This scholarship is in honor of Denise (Desjardins) Meiners who made art – prints, sculptures, fabric arts, paintings - her whole life. Denise deeply loved the trees, rivers, and the land across what is called British Columbia and while rarely an optimist, she fiercely believed in everyday people over power. This scholarship was created to honor her life of producing amazing art, particularly while working and/or care giving full-time, and her commitment to making our world more just and beautiful for all.
