Scholarships

American River College is proud to announce this year's 2020 art scholarships winners! Sabrina has been chosen to be this year's Pruner Color Award recipient. Rachel Pineda has been chosen for the Maddock Figure award. Shania Mae Vargas will be awarded this year's Crocker Kingsley scholarship. This year's art scholarship competition was particularly difficult as there were so many talented students who applied. We would like to extend big congratulations to Sabrina, Rachel and Shania. We are proud of your accomplishments and look forward to seeing more of your work in the future!

Show Awards

With well over 100 hundred entries the panel had an especially difficult time choosing this year's merit awards. After a week of evaluating and debating the award panel chose these three pieces for the best of this year's exhibition. These pieces were chosen for their skill, innovation and creativity.

Merit Awards

Each year several committee members get together to choose awards for outstanding achievements in photography and ceramics. These artists have been chosen for their progress, creativity and skill.

Ceramics Award: $100

Purchase Awards

Every year the campus Permanent Art Collection Committee chooses several pieces to purchase from the student art show competition. These pieces will become part of American River College's prestigious art collection which includes noted artists such as Andy Warhol, Jacob Lawrence and Elizabeth Catlett. These are the pieces chosen for this year's purchase award.
