Helen Qi '23 Receives the Michael Curcio '06 Emerging Artist Scholarship Award
Archmere art student Helen Qi ‘23 has been named the recipient of the annual Michael Curcio '06 Emerging Artist Scholarship Award for her commitment to the study of art, outstanding portfolio, and originally conceived sketchbook. Helen was selected for the award by Archmere’s Fine Art Department faculty, and her work was recently highlighted at the Archmere Fine Arts Festival on April 30.
This award, funded in memory of Michael P. Curcio '06, is awarded annually to a deserving junior in recognition of excellence in the visual arts, and who most embodies Mr. Curcio's commitment to artistic excellence as evidenced in creative process documentation, original sketchbook work, and an art portfolio demonstrating the emergence of an original personal vision. The Emerging Artist Scholarship Award recipient receives a $2,000 tuition scholarship, graciously funded by the Curcio family and friends in memory of Michael Curcio, class of 2006.
At the event, Helen gifted Tina Curcio with her "My Allergy" shrimp painting, which was awarded a Gold Key in the 2021 Scholastic Art Awards competition.
Congratulations to Helen!
