Fifteen local art students received scholarships of $5,000 apiece this week from the Coconut Grove Arts Festival. The winning students – all high school seniors – were announced on Sunday at an event and student art exhibit at the Courtyard by Marriott Coconut Grove. The students were selected based on a review of their portfolios, a personal statement, and teacher recommendations. “What strikes you every year is how fully formed these young artists already are – the depth of vision, the technical skill, the stories they’re driven to tell,” festival director Camille Marchese said in a statement. “We are proud to stand behind them.” Pictured above: Scholarship winner Johan Duran from the New World School of the Arts with Marchese.
