Scholarship Information
General
Adrian Gottlieb offers a small and personalized program. The painter teaches from his own working studio, so scholarships and grants are not possible. However, scholarships and grants are available for non-accredited atelier study. These are typically awarded through philanthropic, non-profit organizations and foundations.
Students should not limit themselves to applying for only fine art scholarships and grants. Research of scholarships and grants for individuals is encouraged.
Experience has shown that insightful organizations, private groups and individuals have recognized not only the value of traditional art training, but individual talent and dedication when awarding otherwise broad based educational financial support.
A highly respected resource for researching grants for individuals is The Foundation Center’s: Foundation Grants for Individuals Online.
The Art Deadlines List, a free monthly newsletter (email & paper; PREMIUM/PAID versions are also available), providing information about general arts opportunities such as scholarships, grants, juried exhibitions, competitions, calls for entry, residencies, festivals, funding, financial aid, and other opportunities for the general arts. Edited and published by Richard Gardner.
Scholarship Competitions
The Elizabeth Greenshields Foundation
The Greenshields foundation was founded in 1955 by C.G. Greenshields in memory of his mother. The objective of the Foundation is to promote an appreciation of traditional expression in painting, drawing, sculpture and the graphic arts, by aiding worthy art students, emerging artists or sculptors, 32 years of age or younger, who need further training or other assistance during their formative years. Applicants must have started or completed art school training or must demonstrate, through past work and future plans, a commitment to making art a lifetime career. An international competition.
Art Renewal Center (ARC) Annual International Scholarship Competition
Designed to help talented students who are studying the techniques of realist drawing, painting and sculpture at ARC recognized ateliers, studio schools and as apprentices (students of individual ARC recognized artists) worldwide. Please read the scholarship requirements carefully. Any special questions or requests can be directed to the program director, Paul McCormack, at Scholarship@ArtRenewal.org
Important Note: Gottlieb Studio & Atelier is an Art Renewal Center (ARC) approved program of study. Qualified students are encouraged to apply for ARC scholarships. Letters of recommendation will be provided to those considered ready to represent the program..
The John F. and Anna Lee Stacey Foundation Fine Art Award
Although juried through the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum, this is not a cowboy art competition.
The The John F. and Anna Lee Stacey Foundation Fine Art scholarship is for students of classical, traditional or what the museum terms as "conservative art;" i.e. painting and/or drawing in the Western European tradition.
The purpose of the scholarship is to foster a high standard in the form, color, drawing, painting, design, and technique. Applicants are limited to citizens of the US between the ages of 18 and 35. The amount available for distribution is approximately $10,000. In the past this has generally been distributed between two awardees; however, the museum is reorganizing the jurying process. The museum will resume accepting applications on November 1, 2006. Applications will be accepted through February 1, 2007. Be sure to bookmark these dates. Scholarship recipients will be notified by mail and will be posted on the museum’s website by March 1, 2007. The annual application process will continue thereafter from November 1st to February 1st. Scholarship recipients will be announced and funds presented each March. Address inquiries to: emuno@nationalcowboymuseum.org
