It’s that time of year again! SCC is looking for the best and brightest emerging artists and arts leaders to join our team. We are committed to nurturing the next generation of arts management professionals and makers, and we’re gearing up to welcome our 2015 Cheteyan Scholar and Studio Apprentice. Follow the links below to apply!
JUDY CHETEYAN SCHOLARSHIP
Businesswoman and previous President of the SCC Board, Judy Cheteyan, has been an invaluable asset to the arts community in Pittsburgh. Both Judy and her husband Michael believe that the arts and education make for a stronger community; therefore, affordable exposure to both is crucial for citizens. The Judy Cheteyan Scholarship Fund is an annual paid summer internship offered through Contemporary Craft that provides a college or graduate student with the opportunity to gain professional experience within an internationally known contemporary craft organization. The scholarship will be used to pay a $3,000 stipend to the student during the internship. Deadline to apply is January 15, 2015.
