“I received my NSTT Scholarship in 1980 after my first year of graduate school at Cranbrook Academy of Art in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan. I had managed to fund the first year but was not sure how I would be able to afford the second!
The letter from the Talent Trust gave me a huge boost and the confidence that I could somehow come up with the rest of the money. Shortly afterwards Cranbrook awarded me a scholarship too, and that combined with money earned from my summer job allowed me to complete the program. I’ll always be grateful to the Talent Trust for their support during a pivotal time in my development.”
Join us for the Opening Reception on Saturday, May 25 at 2 p.m. at MSVU Art Gallery in Halifax.
