During the spring semester, the Austin Art League Group 1 selected five ACC art students who each received a one-thousand-dollar scholarship. The selection was based on the work that the students entered in the 45th Annual ACC Student Art Exhibition.
The 2021 scholarship recipients are:
Lea Alvardo, March, 2020, colored pencil
Ellen Crofts, Sorting, 2020, oil on canvas
Brent Gillentine, Alone, 2021, porcelain
Saina Keith, Adoniah, 2020, mixed-media drawing
Everardo Jesus Camacho, 2021, Mexican Veggies, watercolor on paper
The Austin Art League hosted a luncheon in mid-May to honor the students and have them speak about what motivated them to create these works. Congratulations to our ACC artists!
