“During times like these, art can foster a deeper understanding and connection to the earth.
We desperately need these messages now.” -Robert Redford
To carry on this philosophy, AiM is pleased to announce the creation of the Stephen C. Jameson Young Artist Scholarship. We invite budding young artists to apply for the 2026 scholarship that will provide for up to 16 hours of custom personal instruction or mentoring from AiM’s best artists over the year.
