Annabelle DeCamillis
In November, Spain Park High School senior Annabelle DeCamillis was chosen as a prestigious YoungArts finalist for her work in visual arts. She was selected from a field of more than 10,000 applicants as one of only 15 students from her category.
DeCamillis will travel to Miami this month for a week of interaction with some of the world’s most distinguished artists. Former master teachers at YoungArts include Mikhail Barishnikov, Martin Scorsese and Quincy Jones.
Among the finalists, some will be chosen for scholarships of up to $10,000.
In addition, YoungArts serves as the exclusive nominating agency for the U.S. Presidential Scholars in the Arts, the country’s highest honor for artistically talented high school seniors.
Each year, 20 YoungArts winners are chosen as U.S. Presidential Scholars in the Arts and showcase their work at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts and at the Smithsonian American Art Museum in Washington, D.C. and are awarded as U.S. Presidential Scholars by the President of the United States at a White House ceremony.
