Support Emerging Artists of Today and Tomorrow
The League is dedicated to providing educational opportunities to promising artists through scholarship assistance for individuals and families who otherwise could not afford them. Our Big HeART scholarship program fosters inclusiveness and increases access to a visual arts education for students of all ages, backgrounds and experience levels. Unfortunately, due to high demand and limited funding, without your assistance the League may be forced to decline many of our scholarship requests. We urgently need the support of our community to keep our scholarship funds flowing to the promising artists of today and tomorrow.
Access to arts participation is proven to help individuals of all ages. Read Maria's Story to find out how the arts can*:
- build self esteem
- encourage cognitive development
- promote better health
- foster civic engagement
- generate a sense of community
- improve academic performance
