Student-artists working in all media are invited to submit a portfolio of their original work for the Brule Scholarship competition. The work will be evaluated on composition, concept, range, craftsmanship and originality.
Two scholarship winners will be announced. The recipients will be chosen based on the portfolio competition on Saturday, May 5 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Jutila Center on Finlandia University’s campus.
Students can be entering any of Finlandia University’s Bachelor of Fine Arts programs.
“At my kindergarten graduation I said I wanted to be an artist, and that has never changed. I love working with all sorts of mediums, and am anxious to dive into the computer labs to better develop my skills in graphics and web design.”
“I didn’t know what to do when I heard that I had won this award, it was such a bright and exciting moment for me. I called a few people right away to spread the news, and my family and friends were so excited for me.”
Formerly a hospital, the renovated Jutila Center building now houses Finlandia’s International School of Art & Design (ISAD), the Reflection Gallery, and the Lily I. Jutila Center for Global Design and Business, a small business incubator. The various new studios and labs are expansive and professional in both appearance and equipment. By combining design spaces within a business incubator, we have created a “community” where students, faculty, and business people interact and collaborate – sharing ideas, equipment and workspace. Community entrepreneurs come for consultation services and inspiration.
