In memory of her mother, Susan Patricelli Regan has established a nonprofit Fine Arts Scholarship Charity which is awarded to a graduating High School senior and/or post-secondary student who is pursuing a college major in the Fine Arts.
The Masters School in Simsbury and CREC Greater Hartford Academy of the Arts Half-Day Program have now become an integral part of the Foundation's focused objectives to support diversified educational opportunities for the youth of our community. Granby Memorial High School was unable to meet the parameter requirements of the Scholarship this year due to lack of participants but is now seeking to expand to a district competition that may include East Granby and Simsbury High Schools for 2022.
The Sylvia Davis Patricelli Fine Arts Scholarship Foundation once again participated in the Greater Hartford Academy of the Arts Half Day Program/CREC (Capitol Region Education Council) on June 9, 2022.
Susan Patricelli Regan, President of the Foundation presented the $500 award to the winner, Samantha Brady. $50 Jerry's Artarama gift certificates donated by the store in West Hartford, were provided to Ms. Barry, and runners up Nevaeh Alvarado and Sydney Soucy. Based on the excellent rapport and collation with the CREC art institution's administration, consideration will be given to increasing the scholarship financial award amount.
