| Portfolio Prize Competition |
The St. Michaels Art League began its art scholarship program in
2005 to encourage graduating high school art students to
continue to develop their artistic skills in college. Each year,
local high school art students are awarded scholarship
assistance through the League’s Portfolio Prize Competition.
This competition is open to all local high school art students,
who must submit a representative portfolio of their work for
evaluation.
A panel of judges reviews all the portfolios and selects the
winners. The winning portfolios are chosen on the basis of
artistic performance, quality of the portfolio in general, diversity of
media, and overall creativity. The artists are formally recognized
at an award ceremony held at either St. Michaels High School or
Easton High School.
The partnership between the St. Michaels Art League and local
high school art departments and their students continues to
grow. Little more than four years into the program, the prize
money awarded is more than ten times greater than in our
inaugural year as a result of the League’s increased fund-raising
efforts. Foremost in these events is the annual sale of one-
of-a-kind individually painted all-occasion and holiday cards
created by Art League members that are sold in locations
throughout St. Michaels and at Art League events. In addition, a
portion of the revenue from all of the Art League’s show sales,
workshops and classes is also donated to the scholarship fund.
See Calendar for this year's date. You may also make a tax-
deductable contribution to our scholarship program, using the
