CAA Scholarship Award
To maintain ties to the community and to promote the study of collage, Collage Artists supports an annual scholarship for a deserving art student.
At our last meeting (May 22), we presented our new scholarship winner an award of $1000. Her name is Grecia Santiesteban (pictured, right), and she is an art major at Pasadena City College.
Grecia talked about her goals and the techniques involved in her work. The white piece pictured here is made of melted plastic bottles and paint. Congratulations, Grecia!
