The BCGAA utilizes their scholarships
to promote growth within the association by inspiring new ways
of looking at art and working in glass as an artistic medium.
Both mid career and emerging artists have the opportunity to increase
their abilities, techniques, and dialogues. The recipients of
these scholarships are chosen as representatives of the BCGAA.
As a condition of the award they must either make a presentation
to the membership or write an article for the newsletter about
their experience, submit a piece of their work in the next BCGAA
art exhibition, and provide a few images of their work proceeding
from the course they have taken. In addition, the recipients will
be asked to be on the jury for the next Scholarship.
