Our scholarship is in honor of a late performing artist and graduate of Cornish College of the Arts who was heavily inspired and influenced by Henry David Thoreau and T.S. Elliot. As such, our mission is to empower artists to live deliberately; “to live deep & suck out all the marrow of life” and to never cease from exploration. “We shall not cease from exploration. And the end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we started and know the place for the first time.” T.S. Elliot We aim to support and inspire this next generation of artists to pursue their passions with depth and breadth, discover new perspectives, and unlock the transformative power of art—both for the artist and the world they reach.
