Salem Arts Association scholarships are presented in memory of two of the organizations early members who were instrumental in building the foundations of Salem Arts Association – The Ellen Hardy Memorial Arts Scholarship and the Paula Beaulieu Memorial Arts Scholarship. Ellen Hardy had a profound influence on the Salem artistic scene through her involvement with the Salem Public Arts Commission, the annual Salem Arts Festival, and Salem Arts Association, for which she was a powerful advocate. Ellen served for several years as a member and president of Salem Arts Association. Paula Beaulieu was an active artist in the Salem Arts Association and taught young and old alike through her program “Connect with Their Creativity.” Her family has chosen Salem Arts Association and Salem High School as beneficiaries of any donations made in her honor.
Erin and Carlian will both receive $1,000.00 to assist with education expenses along with complimentary memberships to Salem Arts Association as student members. An awards ceremony was held at Salem Arts galleries, 159 Derby Street, on Saturday July 19, 2021.
