The GFWC Woman’s Club of Westminster presented two student art scholarships March 19 at the Carroll County Arts Council as part of Maryland’s Youth Art Month celebrations.
The scholarships were awarded to Eli Picataggi, a fourth-grade student at Linton Springs Elementary School, and Caidyn Smith, a student at Oklahoma Road Middle School. Their art teachers are Ms. Dieter and Ms. Crumb-Derr, and Ms. Novak, respectively.
Each recipient received a certificate and a $400 credit to be used toward summer camps or art classes offered by the Carroll County Arts Council over the next year.
