Scholarships

The Guild’s long-time goal was realized in 2015 with the establishment of  the NGAG Art Scholarship Program. Through it, we provide educational financial assistance to artistically talented graduating high school seniors. The first scholarships were awarded to four outstanding students in 2016.  The program continues to benefit students through funding from the annual fundraiser, Sassafras Artisan Market, our generous sponsors, and individual donations.  

 

To date, 29 scholarships, each $1000 have been awarded to graduates from four area high schools: 

Rabun County High School, Rabun Gap Nacoochee School, Habersham Central High School, and Tallulah Falls School.

Congratulations 2023 Scholarship Recepients

This years selectees represent the ideals of our organization. Not only do they have remarkable past achievements but exciting future plans.

NGAG Booth at Butlers 

NGAG is a “virtual” organization without a brick and mortar location.  We rent space in Butler’s Gallery (Booth #6) for members to show and sell their work.  The exhibit rotates quarterly and features 3-4 members’ work, both 2D and 3D. The artists exhibiting each month and photos of their work are shown in the monthly GML ad and the NGAG newsletter.

May - July 2023
