At the 2017 Fine Arts Festival held on March 25th, Archmere art student Lauren Chua '18 was named the recipient of the fourth annual Michael Curcio '06 Emerging Artist scholarship award for her commitment to the study of art, outstanding portfolio, and originally conceived sketchbook. 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.
The Emerging Artist scholarship award involves a $1,000 scholarship endowed graciously by the Curcio family and friends in memory of Michael Curcio, class of 2006. The other finalists were Cassie Paterson and Krupa Patel. Each student professionally presented a PowerPoint of their artwork in front of the art faculty, and also had to develop at least one originally conceived sketchbook, not teacher directed. Lauren had 5 original sketchbooks.
Lauren also has won several Gold and Silver Keys in the Delaware Regionals of the National Scholastics Scholarship Art Awards program. In addition, she was selected to attend the Governor's School for the Arts as a sophomore, one of 10 art students in the state awarded this distinction.
