Neighborhood Credit Union will award scholarships and prize ribbons at a reception honoring the art students. The program is unique in that it is open only to art students in high school and college. Each student develops an art concept and an artist’s statement, and produces images of their work. After review by their art instructor, student artwork is submitted to members of the Cottonwood Art Festival jury.
