Grace Yang ‘25 Receives the Michael Curcio '06 Emerging Artist Scholarship Award
Archmere art student Grace Yang ‘25 has been named the recipient of the annual Michael Curcio '06 Emerging Artist Scholarship Award for her commitment to the study of art, outstanding portfolio, and originally conceived sketchbook. Grace was selected for the award by several art alumni who helped jury the entries: Monique Rollins '98, Vincent LaCava '87, Mark Smith '86, and Amanda Phelan '06. Grace's work was recently highlighted at the Archmere Fine Arts Festival on April 26.
Selected by Archmere’s Art & Design Department and Mrs. Tina Curcio, the Michael P. Curcio '06 Emerging Artist Scholarship Award is presented annually to a deserving junior in recognition of overall excellence in the visual arts, and who most embodies Mr. Curcio's commitment to artistic excellence as evidenced in creative process documentation, original sketchbook work, and an art portfolio demonstrating the emergence of an original personal vision. The Emerging Artist Scholarship Award recipient receives a $2,000 tuition scholarship, graciously funded by the Curcio family and friends in memory of Michael Curcio, class of 2006.
