Sophia is the recipient of a $1500 scholarship. Sophia is graduating from Ridgewood High School and will attend the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and majoring in Industrial Design. She has been a student at RAI for 8 years, primarily a student of Joel Popadics but had also taken classes with Laura Paray and Rebecca Leer. She has won many awards at RAI throughout the years and has expressed that RAI has always been an important part of her life and that our classes provided valuable skills that will help her in college as well as beyond. Congratulations to Sophia and best of luck in college and your future art career!
Viancha is the recipient of a $500 scholarship. Viancha is graduating from Tappan Zee High School and will attend Pratt and be majoring in Fine Arts. Although she has only been a student at RAI for less than a year, she always came to class with enthusiasm to finish a painting. Sue Barrasi watched Viancha grow as an artist, starting by learning the basic fundamentals of painting to exploring new techniques. Congratulations to Viancha and best of luck in college and your future art career!
