The Guild sponsors a scholarship for college students majoring in Art.
2020 & 2021 Winner
Angel Moreno, Art Student at Augusta University is the winner of the 2020 scholarship.
Dear Angelika,
It is my pleasure to write this email to express my most sincere gratitude and appreciation to the Artist Guild of Columbia County for your generosity and support. I am thrilled, honored and grateful to be the recipient of this incredible scholarship twice in a row. A scholarship that comes directly from a community of artists as the result of their work, efforts and commitment with the arts; is the highest honor a student can ever receive. Thank you for helping me become the artist that I am today through this beautiful, meaningful, and generous recognition.
I would also like to apologize for being so disconnected lately, especially since the world turned upside-down. It is incredible to see how much the world has changed in just a year. A year full of challenges and difficulties, but also of acts of solidarity, compassion and most importantly resilience. I am currently in Texas assisting my family, especially my mother after recovering from illness through the pandemic and the latest weather events in the state. I will also be graduating in July and that truly fills my heart with joy.
Attached, you will find a few photos of some of my most recent work and I hope that you enjoy. Please continue to take care, stay healthy, creative, and see you soon in our next Zoom meeting.
With admiration and respect,
~Angel Moreno
