The main purpose of the Delaware Art Festival Association is producing the Arts Festival each summer in order to provide scholarships in the visual arts. The festival also gives a stipend to the Delaware County Library for books on Arts and Crafts and awards competitive grants to art teachers in the local schools.
The total grant award this year is $10,000. Winners of individual grants are Kim Roberts of Ventures Academy, Robin Clay of Buckeye Valley Schools, Jennilyn Haer and Dawn Norris of Big Walnut Schools, Amy Schultz and Melanie Harry of Delaware City Schools and Sarah Butler, Jennifer Sosa and Philip Stoll of Olentangy Local Schools.
The grants provided materials for ceramic work and silk screening, kilns, pottery wheels, camera lenses, drawing tablets and other items to enhance education in the visual arts in their classrooms this year and beyond.
