Subject: WPS_SCHOLARSHIPS OFFERED!!!
Hi Folks,
I am announcing an exciting new initiative within the Wisconsin Painters’ Studio.
As of today, I am offering Wisconsin Painters’ Studio Scholarships! Let anyone you think might be interested know about this. Contact your groups, contact your artistic friends. Time is running out for the first one, so get the news out!
5pm, Wednesday, May 27th deadline!!!
I am introducing scholarships into the WPS so that artists young and old, with a variety of experience, can discover what the fine repertoire of painters within the current WPS studio, and those that have gone before; have already discovered; that this is not your average art instruction venue. My art development techniques are based strongly in those of the great artist and teacher Robert Henri (see “The Art Spirit”). I am here for you, and your own personal, and very individual artistic development; totally free of the entrapment of the stylistic teachers that are the primary form of private art instruction today; those teachers that would have you paint like them, and not, like you. At the WPS you will discover the “3-Cs” of Creativity, Craftsmanship, and Clarity of Intent. Art is Visual Language; and that language can be consistently discovered, learned, and applied to your own personal vision.
Starting on Thursday, June 4th, the 1st WPS Scholarship will consist of 4 Completely FREE Consecutive Sessions, Plus an Additional 4 Consecutive Discounted Sessions. A 2 Month $180 VALUE!
The selected candidate must be able to attend consecutively. If a session is missed, that session is forfeited and is not negotiable into the future. After Thursday, June 25th, if the selected candidate should decide to continue with the WPS, their rate for the next 4 consecutive sessions would be only $25 per session. Again, if a session is missed that session is forfeited and is not negotiable into the future. The candidate is not required to attend any of these 4 sessions. After Thursday, July 23rd, should the scholarship participant decide to continue with the WPS, they would participate at the regular rate of $35 per session and they would become part of the WPS Artist Roster.
The Selected Scholarship Participant starts on:
Thursday, June 4th. Cost: FREE
Thursday, June 11th. Cost: FREE
Thursday, June 18th. Cost: FREE
Thursday, June 25th. Cost: FREE
If the participant should decide to continue, the following 4 consecutive Thursday sessions would be available at a cost to the participant artist of only $25 each. Note: After Thursday, June 25th, the scholarship participant is not required to attend any further sessions. However, if the participant should decide to attend 1 or more of the sessions within the time frame of the next 4 consecutive Thursdays, the cost would be only $25 each.
Thursday, July 2nd. Cost $25
