The Scholarship Foundation of Santa Barbara has honored 25 student artists as winners of its 2020 Art Scholarship Competition.
The recognition came during a Jan. 23 event at the Mary Craig Auditorium at the Santa Barbara Museum of Art, where the students addressed their families and supporters. They were the winners in a competition in which 70 South Coast high school seniors submitted a portfolio of original work to the scholarship committee.
Each student was awarded a $2,500 scholarship, and the Schall Family Best of Show winner, Santa Barbara High School senior Evan Sherman, received an additional $1,000 scholarship. The submissions were displayed through Jan. 27 at the museum.
Judges were Anthony Askew, Ginny Brush and Patti Jacquemain.
“We have held this event for 41 years now, and the winning submissions are always impressive,” Foundation Board Chair Christie Glanville said in a news release. “We are proud to recognize these extraordinarily talented artists and provide them with scholarships.”
