Arts Foundation Executive Director, David Kaplan said, “We all love this program! It starts with happy kids dropping off over 500 art entries at our office, then the fun everyone has reviewing and voting on those designs, and the sense of awe we all feel seeing so much talent flowing from the Cape’s young people. It’s inspiring! And last but not least, we have the thrill of awarding 10 scholarships to the students and their schools at a reception held at the wonderful Cape Cod Museum of Art. Living proof that Art Matters! ”
