Every year the Wickenburg Art Club awards a $1,000 scholarship to a deserving Wickenburg high school senior to use in the study of art. Helen Baker has worked to identify candidates, and last week she brought an excellent candidate, Lewis Berrett, to the scholarship committee. He described his life-long interest in art and showed us many samples of his work in pottery, watercolor, and pen and ink. His work shows that he is a creative individual with a great imagination. Four of his drawings are currently on display on the wall in the front of the main room, while his pottery is on the top shelf of the display case in the back of the room. The committee voted to recom-mend to the membership that we award a scholarship to Lewis. What remains to do is to have a vote of the mem-bers present at Monday's meeting (May 9 at 6:30pm). Lewis plans to be present, and we will have a slide show of his work displayed on a computer.

Additionally, last year's scholarship winner, Kara Hartman, has kept us up to date on her progress during her first year in college. She has taken several art courses and has applied to WAC for another scholarship. We re-viewed her application and samples of her recent art, and the scholarship committee recommends that we also award Kara a scholarship in addition to Lewis. Kara returns from college this coming Monday, and may be here soon enough to attend our meeting. She has sent a slide show and some photos of her art, which will also be on display at Monday's meeting.
