Started in 2012, RFA hosts an annual Art Scholarship Competition in which local high school artists submit an original artwork based on a new theme every year. The ten finalists are granted the opportunity to exhibit their artworks at M.S. Rau. Four winning artists, selected by a panel of rotating guest judges, are granted a total of $13,000 in college scholarship funds. Furthermore, the first-place winner is presented with the opportunity to study art in Italy, inspired by the tradition of the Prix de Rome.
The Places You Will Go: What does your future hold? As you near the end of your high school experience, you will face a world of possibilities and decisions. Opportunities abound, and you must choose where your life will take you. Show us your vision of what your future will look like and illustrate how your dreams and ambitions make you feel. Compose a work of art that depicts where you envision yourself going – this can be a literal showcase of things like your career aspirations or travel desires or a more metaphorical exploration of your hopes and dreams for your best life. Technical skill and creativity are of the utmost importance, so show us your best work!
