GWS Outreach Program

Judy Greenberg High School Senior Scholarship Program

GWS embraces the educational spirit and community outreach by supporting art teachers who teach watercolor and their students throughout Georgia. In 2020, GWS started collaborating with the Atlanta High School Art Exhibition (AHSAE) to honor watercolor artists of 79 high schools in 17 counties in the Atlanta area. We are pleased to continue giving awards and educational funds from the Judy Greenberg Memorial Fund. Five GWS Awards are given to watercolor students, selected for the annual Atlanta High School Art Exhibition, to support their outstanding talents and love of art and expression.

GWS once again collaborated with the Atlanta High School Art Exhibition (AHSAE) to offer awards through the Judy Greenberg Senior High School Scholarship Program. The selected paintings were part of this year’s 90th Dogwood Festival at Piedmont Park April 10th thru 12h. Join us in celebrating the creativity and motivation of the high school students who were invited.
