THIRTY-ONE STUDENTS AND PROFESSIONALS

ARE AWARDED VIRGINIA MUSEUM FELLOWSHIPS

 

Latest Awards Bring Total Since 1940 To 814 Fellowships Worth $2.5 Million

 

Thirty-one Virginia artists and art students have been awarded a total of $182,000 in 2001 Virginia Museum of Fine Arts Fellowships.

 

In the 61 years in which the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts has awarded Fellowships, the museum has awarded $2.5 million to 814 professional and student artists who are permanent residents of Virginia.

 

"Virginia Museum of Fine Arts Fellowships provide crucial support for artists who wish to advance their careers or further their education," says Dr. Michael Brand, director of the Virginia Museum.

 

Money for the Fellowships comes from a privately endowed fund administered by the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts. It was initiated in 1940 by John Lee Pratt of Fredericksburg (husband of Lillian Pratt, donor of the museum's Fabergé collection). The fund was later supplemented by gifts from the Lettie Pate Whitehead Foundation, the J. Warwick McClintic Jr. Scholarship Fund, and the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts Foundation. "

NOTE: This is very interesting to me:It was initiated in 1940 by John Lee Pratt of Fredericksburg (husband of Lillian Pratt, donor of the museum's Fabergé collection)- particularly in leiu of my latest art work on the paintings of Carl Faberge's Jewelry that I have been working on since 1995. Now I realize that I would have seen those very Faberge works, given by John Lee and Lillian Pratt, while I was at the Virginia Museum on those Saturdays with my friend and fellow art student, Ralph Cox.
