The students’ parents and teachers were in attendance for the presentation.

The scholarships are available to graduating seniors who live and attend high school in Palm Beach County. Students must be planning a college major in visual arts at either a two-year or four-year institution.

The judging is based not only on their artwork, but on their academic achievements, career goals, volunteer hours, an artist statement and a faculty recommendation.

The Wellington Art Society Scholarship Fund was established in 2001 and has provided 85 talented young artists to date with funds for their art-related expenses.

Proceeds from the art society’s exhibitions, Art Fest on the Green and the Whole Foods Market Wellington solo art exhibitions help support the fund.
