Arts in Education

CCCA has been working to assess the state of the arts education in Columbia County's schools. As a first step, an Arts Education Survey was developed and sent to each of the County's 24 schools. Results were then tabulated and presented at a Roundtable workshop for administrative and teaching staff. The objective of the Roundtable was to present survey findings and, with the help of participants, develop "Next Steps" for CCCA to pursue in expanding arts education opportunities for the schools. If you are interested in participating in this program, e-mail us at info@artscolumbia.org.

Linda Arnaud Individual Artist Grant


Eat for Art 2009 was the occasion for the presentation of the first Linda Arnaud Memorial Fund Individual Artist Grant. Visual artist, Dawn Breeze, was selected by a panel of five committee members and chaired by, photographer Michel Arnaud, Linda's husband.

The $1500 grant was awarded to Dawn for her art project and its connection to the fashion design industry--an area that Ms. Arnaud was an integral part of for many years. Carrie Haddad, one of the panelists, announced the winner.

In accepting her award, Dawn said heartfeltly, "I've never won a grant before and I am deeply grateful to have been selected."

Applications for the 2010 Linda Arnaud Individual Artist Grant will be open in July of next year.
