The Potters’ Guild of Las Cruces has a long history of awarding outstanding student work. We believe in supporting the next generation of artists, so each year we offer our “student awards” program, recognizing students who are making ceramic art or participating in ceramic workshops. To be considered for award money, please fill out the following and please cc message to Katie Gelinas, kgelinas@yisd.net and Linda Sanchez, reederlinda1@gmail.com
In order to budget our funds, all applications need to be in by April 1 at the latest.
Thank you,
Katie Gelinas and Linda Sanchez
