| Attention Educators, Students & Community Leaders! We invite you to share an arts-based scholarship opportunity for BIPOC students who plan to continue their studies at the post-secondary level. Barrel & Flow Fest and Farm to Table Buy Local have partnered to form art + biz, a cooperative program that joins artists across platforms and scopes with local businesses. As an extension of this initiative, we are seeking applicants for five (5) $1,000 scholarships for students across a five-county region (Allegheny, Beaver, Westmoreland, Washington, and Butler). Graduating seniors who plan to study digital art, graphic design, fine arts, music, musical performance, drama/theatre, culinary arts, dance, cinematography and film, interactive media design, drawing, integrative arts, visual arts, photography, or a similar field are encouraged to apply online through a Google form.
