2017 Ela Moll Scholarship Award

Call for Entries for graduating high school art students

GALLERY STRATFORD

Annually, Gallery Stratford awards a scholarship to Perth and Huron County high school students who go on to study in a post-secondary program that requires a fine arts component such as visual arts, architecture, interior design, photography, or animation. The Ela Moll Scholarship Award was founded by members of the Stratford Community and the Stratford Art Association to commemorate the death of Ela Moll (1950-1969), and to ensure that Stratford and area youth will continue to be encouraged in the Arts. Ela Moll was a promising young Stratford artist, who was killed in an accident. A prolific artist from a very early age, he was rarely idle and produced hundreds of art works, including ink, etchings, oils/acrylic, silk screens, and sculpture. Moll displayed an extraordinary imagination and a great creative ability, manifested not only in his own work but his leadership to the young people of Stratford. His art works showed an exciting promise that would fulfil an outstanding potential. About the Ela Moll Scholarship Award: •
