Quinlan Visual Arts Center Receives $2,000 Grant from Alpha Delta Kappa

Alpha Delta Kappa , headquartered in Kansas City, MO, is an international honorary organization of women educators dedicated to educational excellence, altruism and world understanding. It has nearly 45,000 members in over 1,500 chapters located in every state plus Puerto Rico and around the world in Australia, Canada, Jamaica and Mexico. The Foundation biennially awards over a quarter of a million dollars through its eight scholarship and grants program.

The Quinlan Visual Arts Center (QVAC) in Gainesville, Georgia has been awarded a $2,000 grant to implement the Center’s “Portfolio Series.”

This program is designed to provide college bound art students the skills needed to put their best foot forward at the college interview and present their work, and therefore, themselves, in a professional manner. The series of classes and seminars will provide high school art students instruction on developing strong portfolios and skills that will make them competitive for scholarships and acceptance to college art programs. 

Dr. Delores Diaz, Chair of the Education Committee at the QVAC, applied for the grant and was selected by the Fine Arts Grants Board of the Alpha Delta Kappa Foundation. She will be recognized at the International Convention of Alpha Delta Kappa in Greensboro, North Carolina on July 11, 2009. Dr. Diaz is a member of Alpha Delta Kappa’s Georgia Beta Beta Chapter.
