Ten talented Brooklyn students win Sharp Fellowships
A group of ten gifted high school students from across Brooklyn have been chosen as this year’s recipients of Brooklyn Community Foundation’s Peter Jay Sharp Youth Arts Fellowship.
Four of the winners are musicians – including a clarinetist, violinist, vocalist and rock musician — and three are dancers. The group also includes one writer, one visual artist, and one filmmaker/actor.
Each fellow is affiliated with a local arts group, including Brighton Ballet, Willie Mae Rock Camp for Girls, Groundswell Mural Project, Noel Pointer Foundation, and Girls Write Now. The organizations will receive $2,500 to support scholarships.
