Hi Everyone,
I hope you had a good Holiday Season. As we move into the new year we have a few deadlines coming up. The Genie Schafer Art Memorial Scholarship, established in loving memory of Genie, goes toward an art workshop of your choice. The application is due on February 1st. The Opal Parmenter Fellowship is to be used to pay for attending an art workshop and sharing what was learned with other Omaha Artist Members at a Fun Shop. The entry deadline is March 1st.
Both applications can be sent to me or turned in at a luncheon.
