What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
Arts for Life Scholarship
The Arts for Life program allows any resident of St. Louis Park to enrich their life through a creative experience regardless of personal financial restrictions. We have funded music, art and dance classes, a band trip to Chicago for high school students who would otherwise not be able to participate and classes for seniors to engage in the arts. Funding is 100% donor based. Approximately $4,000 per year awarded to individuals in SLteens, adults, and seniors who live in St. Louis Park are eligible. Scholarships are awarded based on need.
What do the Arts for Life Scholarships support? Arts for Life scholarships can be applied to any arts discipline: visual, music, theater, dance, media, film, literary, and other art forms.
