Above is a short interview with scholarship student Bailey Glass, who was quoted in our fall Annual Fund appeal letter. Like the looks of the studio she's working in?
Support Penland's classes and programs by joining
with hundreds of donors who are Penland Friends,
contributing each year to the Penland Annual Fund. With your contribution
you provide critical support for the studios, the work study scholarship
program, studio assistantships, and resident artists, and core
fellows programs. Penland Friends make
an annual gift to the school at any level. All Friends receive our
annual report, invitations to
gallery exhibit openings, and notices of special events on campus.
