Scholarship Awards Luncheon
The 2026 Scholarship Awards Luncheon is the annual celebration of our student scholars. Join us in getting to know these students, viewing their artwork, and seeing some of their performances. To maximize focus on the students and their talent, there will be no guest speaker. Instead, this is an opportunity to learn more about our scholars and to understand the impact the Arts Advocates scholarships has on their lives.
