The Abilene Education Foundation was pleased to present the third annual AEF Young Masters Juried Art Exhibit for Advanced Placement Art students in April 2010. The Grace Museum, in collaboration with AEF and AISD, celebrates young master artists and their dedicated teachers for demonstrating excellence in artistic education with a quality museum art exhibition.
The Young Masters exhibition extends the supporting role of AEF with AISD, and will impact the future of not only the students selected for the show, but all AP art students by inspiring them to reach their full potential. Additionally, it provides students acclamation that may further enhance opportunities for acceptance into premier higher education art programs. The project was supported by a grant from the Abilene Cultural Affairs Council, the City of Abilene, and Taylor County with additional assistance provided by AISD, Abilene Frame-N-Art Shoppe, The Fine Arts Department of Cisco College, and the Community Foundation of Abilene.
Scholarships for the 2010 exhibition were generously funded by Melody Hunt, Kaye Price-Hawkins/Priceless Literacy, The Evelyn Niblo Wednesday Painting Class, Jackie and Bart Cox, Latimer and Bush Ramsey and Judy Godfrey.
