Anna Leon, Cambridge Art Study Experience

My name is Anna Leon and I have been creating art my entire life!

Hello!

This is Kay Phelps, Mystye Gorgan and Craig Raymaley and we own Up Front Art space. We are raising funds to help send an exceptional Cuyahoga Falls High school student, Anna Leon, to London for the Summer Discovery/SIG program at the Cambridge University campus.

All money from this campaign will go directly to Anna Leon and will be used to pay for:

*Travel

*Boarding

*Food

The cost for Anna to attend this study experience is $10,000.

The payment is due on April 1st.

About Anna:

Anna Leon has never known a time when she wasn’t creating art. Her natural talent was noticed by family and friends early on, and now that she is winning prestigious awards like earning a Gold Key at the Scholastic Art & Writing Awards, the art world is taking notice. Leon, a Cuyahoga Falls High School junior, was recently accepted into the Summer Discover / SIG at Cambridge University in England.

Jennifer Schulman, Leon’s art teacher at CFHS, has high praise for her prodigious student’s talent and work ethic. “Anna is thinking, practicing and performing on an entirely different level. She is working at a pace and intensity that has no equal among her peers. The Cambridge summer program is a life and learning experience that will feed her creative soul. She will return to Cuyahoga Falls for her senior year with a new perspective on life and art that will help shape her future. This is a once-in-a-life opportunity, and she has been granted a scholarship, but she still needs some financial help to get to Cambridge.”

From Anna:

"I would love to gain the experience of going to Cambridge because it would allow me to receive high level art schooling and to meet people from different places. My intent is to absorb the guidance given to me. I want to expand my knowledge by going beyond what I am used to. In this case, it is by going out of the country. I am eager to know what the talent in London, Cambridge looks like and to enrich my own skill. Going to a prestigious, competitive institute allows me to be surrounded by people who are going to challenge me tremendously. In order to attend this program, I am going to need financial support, but I am ready to go into this program audaciously and return back to Cuyahoga Falls with a stronger skill set that I would love to share with my community. "

Any and All help is greatly appreciated.
