The Washington Print Foundation firmly believes in the transformative power of art and aims to provide a nurturing and inclusive environment for students to thrive. The Georgetown Art Academy will offer both beginner and intermediate-level classes, ensuring that artists at various skill levels can benefit from the program. The academy's courses will be designed to inspire and challenge students, encouraging them to push their artistic boundaries and discover new ways of self-expression.
As part of our commitment to accessibility and fostering artistic growth, the Washington Print Foundation will be offering a number of scholarships covering tuition fees for the chosen applicants, enabling them to participate in the Georgetown Art Academy without financial constraints.
"Art has the power to transcend boundaries and connect people on a profound level. We are thrilled to introduce the Georgetown Art Academy, providing a platform for aspiring artists to cultivate their skills and channel their creativity," said Ron Meick, President for the Washington Print Foundation. "Through the scholarships, we hope to create opportunities for talented individuals who may face financial barriers, fostering a diverse and inclusive artistic community in the heart of Washington, D.C."
