Wells Fargo Grant

This past fall, Arts Angels received a generous grant from Wells Fargo for the arts programs.  Each of the groups – ArtWorks, DramaWorks, & MusicWorks – received an equal share of the $1000 grant.  These funds provided a wonderful opportunity for us to support the following activities:

• ArtWorks presented workshops to middle and high school students on printmaking and watercolor.   They also held a portfolio workshop for high school students to organize their artwork for college applications and interviews.

• With the grant from Wells Fargo, DramaWorks offered a special workshop on set design for members of the drama crew.  Students learned valuable skills while working closely with a professional set designer.

• MusicWorks used the funds to underwrite a scholarship for a private music lessons for a middle school student.  They also provided transportation for the high school band to attend a state competition at Hofstra University.
