Student Scholarship Program

Each year, one or more talented local high school seniors planning to pursue an art-related education, is awarded a $500 or $1000 scholarship to help them reach their goal. OIAG is very proud to contribute to the community with this college scholarship program.

Art in the Schools

Since 2010, OIAG has donated $1000 cash to Brunswick County public schools, and solicited an art supply company to sponsor a $250 donation as well. The art teacher can then order the art supplies needed from the co-sponsor's catalog: Dick Blick.

The first award was granted to Patricia Lyles and Nick Batounis, South Brunswick High School, in 2010. Cheap Joe's was the art supply company.
