LEWISBURG W.Va. (WVDN) – Carnegie Hall, a leading advocate for arts education, is proud to announce youth and adult scholarship funding for its Spring 2025 Classes and Workshops series. Thanks to generous support from The Cardinal Fund and the James F.B. Peyton Family Trust, these scholarships provide the opportunity for students to develop their artistic skills, explore new creative techniques, and expand their artistic horizons through reduced or no-cost registrations for a variety of heritage and emerging craft traditions. Scholarships are open to all students under 18 years of age and over 50, offering community members the chance to learn from experienced instructors and work with state-of-the-art materials and tools.
“We believe that every person should have access to the transformative power of art,” said Harmony Flora, Education Director for Carnegie Hall. “These scholarships aim to provide students with the opportunity to cultivate their artistic abilities and grow in their craft, regardless of financial circumstances. Art has the power to inspire, empower, and open doors to new opportunities, and we are thrilled to help students explore the wonderful world of the arts through our programming at Carnegie Hall.”
