Okanagan Screen Arts Society Bursary Presentation

Aug 29, 2019 | 8:39 AM

On August 26th Bree Vanderleest happily accepted her $2,000 bursary award given by the Okanagan Screen Arts Society.

Bree will be attending the Center for Art and Technology Digital Film Making program at Okanagan University College in Kelowna. We wish Bree every success in her future in the arts as she plans to become a free-lance videographer.

The other two recipients of the $2,000 bursaries are Sierra Shaw, who accepted her bursary award on August 19th and will be attending Concordia University in the Design for Theatre program specializing in set design, and Shaughnessy O’Brien who is already away at university and has been mailed her bursary cheque.

Congratulations to all three of our bursary recipients!

It is due to the incredible support of our patrons that we are able to provide these bursaries to local students pursuing educations in the arts. Thank you for your continued support.
