Local High School students win SCAD scholarships

In the celebratory culmination of the Monroe-Walton Center of the Arts Middle and High School Student Art Show, representatives from the prestigious Savannah College of Art and Design judged the art works on display from our local schools.

​”I am really impressed by the level of talent exhibited here today,” Steffi Beigh, Assistant Director of Admissions at SCAD said.  “Walton County has one of the best shows we attend and produces some very talented artists!  This was a tough job for our judges because there is so much excellent work to choose from.”​

“It is an honor to be chosen to be in this show.  Students and parents should feel very proud to have their works included,” Hope Reese, Director of the Monroe-Walton Center of the Arts said in the press release.  “Our Walton County art teachers are the best.”

Recently, Beigh awarded these students partial scholarships of up to $14,000:
