To apply, eligible students should submit a letter of intent to Tracy Marlor at tracy.marlor@cox.net by May 1, 2024. Consider including a brief overview of how you became interested in the arts, your inspirations, aspirations, any awards or achievements, or whatever information you believe will enable GAA to better know you as an artist.

Your letter and portfolio will be posted in a private forum accessed only by Granby Artists Association exhibiting artist members.
