The Lopez Artist Guild announces the recipients of the Shirley Wright Scholarship for 2014.

Miriam Drahn and Maya Haber each received a $1,000 grant from LAG, presented at the Lopez High School Graduation Ceremony on June 7.

Miriam will be attending Naropa University in Colorado and plans to be an art teacher.

Maya will be attending Bates College in Maine and chose it because of their strong Visual Arts program.

Normally, one scholarship is awarded each year, but because there was no applicant in 2013, the LAG Scholarship Committee strongly suggested that both of this year’s applicants be recognized. One board member commented, “We truly could not choose one over the other. Both are talented and courageous and art-intentioned, and both are deserving of our support and encouragement.”

We wish them, and all of the recent Graduates, all the best in their future endeavors.
