Wieghardt/Kawamura Scholarship
The Evanston Art Center is honored to receive a very generous bequest from Sueko Kawamura. This scholarship will fund eight full scholarships a year for twenty-five years for students who cannot afford the tuition, based on their financial situation. Along with the scholarships, we proudly name our second floor gallery “The Sueko Kawamura Gallery”. Twenty artists will have the opportunity to exhibit their work in this gallery on an annual basis.
