Tom Holder Memorial Scholarships
Tom Holder was a true visionary, a consummate artist and designer of the Arts Council’s logo.
His work ranged from complex abstract paintings to light-hearted drawings on the chalk board at Harry’s Main Street Grille. The CCAC honors Tom’s memory through a scholarship fund that was established in his name by friends and family. It enables artists from Carroll County to enroll in our art classes, camps and theatre troupe, regardless of their ability to pay. Please contact Tatiana Bell if you would like contribute to this fund. If you are interested in receiving scholarship funds please fill out and return the Tom Holder Memorial Scholarship Application Form. These are accepted at any time.
