Winter Adventures Art Camp is underway at the Carnegie Arts Center. We are excited to announce that our art camp has 42 students in attendance.
Students attend camp three nights a week. There are two youth sessions and one advanced/teen session. This year marks the Carnegie Arts Center’s 30th Anniversary. Throughout our history, we have always been fortunate to receive the support of generous individuals and businesses.
They have donated their time, talent, and resources to make arts opportunities possible for their community members. The Box Butte Art Society and St. John’s Lutheran Church are two such organizations who have been kind enough to grant scholarship support for students to attend Art Camp. This year we are happy to announce that another two generous individuals have donated funds to provide camp scholarships for young artists to pursue their passions.
One kind individual has asked to remain anonymous but requested that his donation specifically go towards supporting student artists. Our other generous individual, Bill Doole, previously of Alliance, NE has donated $1,000 in honor of his wife Peggy Doole. Peggy was an educator, master art historian, and life-long art enthusiast.
The Doole family felt that Peggy would be pleased to see more children have access to art classes, and some would perhaps become shining stars amongst the art world one day. The Peggy Doole Scholarship will remain a great resource to provide art camp scholarships to youth for years to come. Congratulations to our four 2023 scholarships recipients for the Winter Adventures Art Camp, and our sincerest gratitude for such benevolent support of young artists. We are looking forward to welcoming our students into the Carnegie family and can’t wait to see what these marvelous young minds produce.
