Art Student Scholarship

Yes, I am an artist. No, I just don't draw! Pablo Picasso

The Pook Art Student Scholarship ran from 2015 to 2018 and was offered once a year to one of our term art students. The award provided support to an outstanding student who demonstrated observational and creative artistic abilities.

Successful applicants were announced in February of each year. Each selected winners received training to continue their current study for a full term semester and a dedicated web page on our website. Although the art school of Martina Pook closed in April 2020, we will keep the information on our Website. 

Martina remains to teach only two morning classes for adult students from the age of 16.
