SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM
The Camano Art Association’s annual scholarship program is designed to encourage and further the development of graduating high school seniors who are continuing their art education at a higher level. This involves a very competitive process. Application packets are available for interested seniors in late January. They have until March 15 to complete the packets and return them to their art instructors. A panel of judges, consisting of CAA members, reviews the applications and selects the winners(s) within 2 to 3 weeks of the March 15 deadline. Scholarships are awarded at the high school scholarship ceremony usually held in late May. The Camano Art Association recognizes that our students are an important element for the continued growth of art-related projects, activities and programs within the Stanwood Camano community.

Ann Cory, 2009 Poster Artist
Poster artist for the 2009 Camano Island Studio Tour poster is Ann Cory. Working in both watercolors and acrylics, Ann has returned to her first love, painting, after raising a family equally talented in the visual arts. Ann’s heritage in the arts is extensive; her grandmother, Fanny Cory, was renowned as an illustrator, and her mother attended the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Art. One of Ann’s paintings was selected recently for the Children’s Orthopedic Hospital’s Christmas card design. Children and family are some of Ann’s favorite subjects.
