Arts Advisory Committee Honors Senior Artists

The Millburn Arts Advisory Committee celebrated Millburn High School students who received their annual scholarships Saturday night.

The committee was formed in 1998, and the scholarships came out of the realization by committee member Larianne Barach that supplies for college freshman studying art can top $3,000 a year. 

"This year we've been able to give $1,400 to 10 students," Barach said. "We have generous support from local organizations, like the Rotary Club and Jerry's Artist Outlet."

Jerry's store manager Marshall Okin was on hand to explain to the winners how they can best utilize their supply funds. Past scholarship beneficiaries were among the crowd that gathered to celebrate the winners from 2010 at the Paper Mill Playhouse.
