Artfully Yours -- Melinda Vooss Memorial Scholarship Fund

Fund Type: Memorial Donations

Virginia Beach, VA

Fundraiser ends on November 22, 2022

Consider making a contribution in memory of Melinda and in support of one of her greatest passions.

Melinda’s passion was teaching. Through her journeys at Princess Anne Elementary, Norfolk Collegiate, and Chesapeake Bay Academy to almost 20 years of Backyard Art camp and her love of instructing workshops at Board & Brush. She found such great joy in helping student tap their inner artist. She used art to help build confidence, self-awareness and expression, and pride.

Melinda talked about how we can keep her legacy of art education alive. We are in the process of establishing an education scholarship fund entitled Artfully Yours (which was how she closed all of her emails). This fund will provide financial awards to students seeking advanced degrees in art education, as well as support local programs to bring art into schools and the community.

Please consider a donation, and we look forward to sharing many success stories in the years to come.
