The Memorial Art Scholarship is funded solely through donations from our community. There are several ways you can give and support our incredible art students.
At Young Masters, parents and guardians will be able to “purchase" student artwork for as little as $1 as a donation.
Guests at Night Gallery will be able to purchase "red dots" for 25 cents to place on artwork that they like throughout the show.
Cash, check, Venmo, and Cash App payments will be accepted at both events. Check donations can be mailed to Analisa Shinn, Visual Arts Director, at 8961 Tesoro Dr. Suite 407.
All donations go directly to our NEISD Memorial Art Scholarship Fund, which helps support NEISD students in their future artistic endeavors.
Congratulations to our talented students and their teachers!
