Meghan Camarao, is the 2020 winner of SCA’s Youth Grant for emerging artists.
Meghan is the second student from Dartmouth to win this competitive award. She will use the grant to purchase software and attend a RISD class on animation, so she will have the tools to execute an animation series featuring her work on world building.
This will help prepare her for her intended career path and aid in preparing her portfolio.
SCA’s Memorial Fund for Education was established in 2014 as part of SCA’s ongoing educational mission. The initial funding was given in memory of Poole Barker, a young exhibiting member of SCA, who came from a family of artists and creators, and was a dedicated artist in her own right. We hope that Poole’s spirit of creativity, joy and exploration will live on in these grants.
