The Art Plus Gallery
$1000
2023 Student Art Scholarship


Art Plus Gallery was founded in 1999 to promote appreciation and participation in the visual fine arts
throughout Berks County in general, and among students in particular. Our dedication and success in
this mission has earned our cooperative of 25 local artists the status of a 501(c)(3) non-profit
organization.

In alignment with our mission, Art Plus Gallery is proud to offer a county-wide college scholarship open to high school seniors going on to pursue a major or associate degree in the arts.

Each Spring, one Berks County senior who has been accepted into a college-level art curriculum will be awarded a scholarship to be applied to tuition, textbooks or other requisite course materials. Eligible students may be accepted into Fine Arts, Art Education or Commercial Arts majors.

Tradionally a $500 scholarship, Art Plus was able to increase the 2022 award to $1000 thanks to support and donations from a number of individuals, including Judy Ballinger, Harry Bentz, Nancy and Steve Marmarou, Sharon Peifer and Blair Seitz.

At the time of application, student applicants must be enrolled at the senior class level in a Berks County public, private, charter or home school, and display proven artistic ability in one or more of the following mediums: drawing, painting, sculpture, printmaking, mixed media, fine craft, fine art photography or digital art media. Applicants must submit:
  • Proof of at least a 3.0 GPA during the year applying
  • Proof of college acceptance as a visual arts, art education or commercial arts major at a fully-
  • accredited college or university, for Fall of the year applying
  • A completed application including a 250-500 word essay, submitted by April 17th, 2022.
  • Two letters of recommendation, at least one of which should be from an art teacher
  • At least 10 images of their work
Also note that:
  • Incomplete applications will not be considered
  • Applicants may be asked to interview with the Scholarship Awards Committee
  • Family members and relatives of Art Plus Gallery’s members are not eligible
