Anna David, current book arts student, was awarded $1,000 towards her Fall 2010 tuition by the The LOCAL 14 (Lake Oswego Crafts and Arts League). The league awarded $6,700 in academic scholarships this year to area women studying art at the college level. Two of her books, the illustrative “Our History” and “Home,“ a progressively unfolding structure that addresses nostalgia for her hometown in coastal Maine through an original poem and collage, were accepted for the show and sale in mid-October.

Anna was also chosen as an intern for the Wells Book Arts Summer Institute for their 2010 workshops. The Institute accepts two undergraduate and two graduate students as interns each year. Interns arrive on campus three days in advance of the program’s beginning, TA for one week’s workshop, are regular students for the second week, and depart three days after the program’s completion. Tuition, room, and board is $1,600/week so it’s a fantastic opportunity at a significantly subsidized rate. Interns only pay travel and supply expenses.
