The 25 talented Rhode Island student artists, ages 11-14, will each receive a scholarship of up to $500 that will provide an opportunity for these students to attend local summer arts education programs that will expand their experiences in a chosen area of study. The ARTS Scholarships 2009 awards will be presented to the winners at the Providence Performing Arts Center on Monday, May 11.
