Arts scholarships still available

PUTNAM — Thousands of dollars are still available in scholarships for high school and middle school students who wish to attend the Quiet Corner’s new premier fine arts camp, the Summer Arts Academy. The program is currently accepting students and has limited space available. Held

July 28 – August 1 at Pomfret School, the program is taught by nationally renowned artists and offers instruction in acting, creative writing, dance, chamber orchestra, chorus, drawing/painting, and pho- tography. Every accepted student automatically receives a full scholarship applied to the tuition of the program, worth over $1,500.

SAA students are taught by award-winning faculty from the region and across the nation. This year’s faculty includes Miriam Burns of New York City (a former cover conductor for the New York Philharmonic)  and Brad Davis of Pomfret, whose poetry has been published in many well known journals, magazines, and collections. Students will perform or display their works at the First Friday event in Putnam on Aug. 1.
