VISUAL ARTS

Worcester Art Museum is offering an once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to female residents of Worcester County by presenting the Frances A. Kinnicutt Travel & Study Awards. Winners will receive scholarships to travel to a foreign country and experience first-hand the colors, light, people and landscape that shape the art that is produced there. Awards are offered to female residents of Worcester County and Worcester Art Museum students, staff and volunteers. Winners select their destination and plan activities that revolve around their own interests. Past recipients' travels include trips to Japan to study thatched roof houses and to Germany to spend two weeks learning how to create color in a pigment factory. The application deadline is May 11, and winners will be announced in June. For more information about the awards or application procedures, please contact Paula Artal-Isbrand at (508) 799-4406 ext.3080 or paulaartal-isbrand@worcesterart.org.
