This year’s exhibition and scholarship program commemorates the eighty years of collaboration and support of the arts and scholarship by Wayne State University and DAM.
The student finalists of the John F. Korachis Scholarship Awards are chosen by the DAM scholarship and exhibition committee. The selection process began with an open invitation to WSU art students and was concluded with individual studio visits and interviews with the finalists. After lengthy deliberations, the recipients of the awards and scholarships were finally chosen for their originality, sensitivity to subject matter and exceptional art work.
