Information on the Across Roads Center for the Arts Scholarship programs:

The Mitch Siegel Emerging Artist Award continues the WACC tradition of granting monies annually to a graduating high school senior pursuing the arts beyond Harwood Union.  Students must submit an application sharing this pursuit, with examples of their work, an explanation of their artistic process and philosophy, their creative goals, and their plans to reach those goals. The 2020 Mitch Siegel Emerging Artist Award will be $1000.

The Janet DiBlasi Creative Curriculums Award is presented to teachers at the elementary and middle school levels in Waterbury school district who are injecting arts into their curriculum in innovative ways for deeper learning.  The intention of this grant is to celebrate creative work being brought to and accomplished in core curriculum classrooms, acknowledge efforts to explore and expand the vital role of the arts in all sectors of education and the community, and welcoming those students who may not necessarily align themselves with the arts.  Applications are open to any educator or team of educators from Thatcher Brook Primary School or Crossett Brook Middle who are working to include art-making as an intentional part of their programs, and use the arts as a critical component of connecting core curriculum standards with meaningful art applications.   The 2020 Janet DiBlasi Creative Curriculum Award will be $500.

For information and guidelines for either of these grants, contact: info.acrossroads@gmail.com
