APFTA is excited to introduce a new scholarship opportunity made possible by a generous community donation. We invite emerging artists between the ages of 14–19 from North Hastings to apply.
Whether you’re already passionate about the arts or just beginning to explore your creative interests, this program offers a welcoming space to learn, grow, and connect with other artists, and start off your own art journey!
A team of adjudicators will select three applicants each to be awarded a three-month showing in APFTA Gallery. The first showing will be February to April, the second May to July and the third will show from August to October. APFTA will exhibit your work on a special wall panel in APFTA for these Emerging Artists Awards.
The deadline for applications is January 5, 2026.
