PRAA PARTNERS WITH PRHS ART STUDENTS
The Edith Iwata Scholarship to
Benefit Talented High School Students
will expand the mission of the
Paso Robles Art Association to offer
art scholarships and mentor young
artists through a partnership with
the Paso Robles School District Visual
and Performing Arts (VAPA)
Program. The scholarship is offered
to both AP Art students and Studio
Art students and includes a PRAA
student membership and the experience
of entering juried shows. PRAA
members can also shadow and mentor
young artists.
According to Carlota Santa Cruz,
PRAA president, “We have traditionally
given annual scholarships to Cuesta
College art students with proceeds
from our annual Arte De Tiza. Now
we can include high school art students;
ensuring the future of PRAA by expos-
ing young people and their families to
our association, programs, meetings,
classes and demos.” Brent Moser, specialist
for the VAPA program adds,
“We are delighted to partner with the
PRAA to augment the experiences we
offer to our students.”

The PRAA
Showroom gallery is located in Studios
