Christal Carter Creative Arts Scholarship
Christal Carter was a best-selling author and quilt designer who was an innovator in her field and an inspiration to many.
Christal was the first to do large-sized picture quilts in the log cabin design and was also a leader in creating photograph quilts in a way that had never been done. In addition to quilting, Christal was a talented artist, writer, and decorator, lending her talents to fundraising events in Southern California.
This annual scholarship aims to honor the memory and creativity of Christal Carter by supporting students who share her calling to the arts.
Any high school senior who is pursuing the arts may apply for this scholarship, regardless of their medium of choice (sculpting, quilting, painting, etc.).
To apply, tell us why you’re passionate about your art medium and how it has enhanced life for you or others. Additionally, upload images of any recent projects in the medium of your choice.
