NEWS RELEASE
ORILLIA AND DISTRICT ARTS COUNCIL
*************************
The Orillia and District Arts Council (ODAC) is delighted to announce the recipients of the Mary Rose Bursary for 2023, originated by the Orillia Fine Arts Association, which recently joined with ODAC.
The bursary is funded by the efforts of OFAA members in its final year. The Mary Rose Bursary provides funds to a student from each of the secondary schools in Orillia who will be attending post-secondary training in fine art.
The three recipients for 2023 are Olivia Jones (Patrick Fogarty Catholic Secondary School), Emma Sheppard (Twin Lakes Secondary School) and Emma Munro (Orillia Secondary School).
We congratulate these young students and wish them success in their post-secondary endeavours.
ODAC is hoping to continue the bursary in the future. We welcome community donations to allow us to assist arts students as they move forward in their careers. Interested sponsors can contact [email protected] or call 705-309-3351.
