OPAA Scholarships were awarded to our 2026 Scholars: Colby Barker from Forks High School, Natalie Hollow-Bist and Sierra Douglas from Port Townsend High School.
All three are off to college to pursue art studies, combined with other majors.
Colby will attend Central Washington University to study Art and Advertising.
Natalie Hollow-Bist will pursue Environmental Science at Western Washington University, where her nature photography skills will be applied to efforts to preserve wild spaces.
Sierra will be a psychology major at Seattle Pacific University, and hopes to become a child psychologist and use art in her therapy practice.
We congratulate our scholarship winners! And we thank all the members of OPAA for their fundraising efforts over the past year to raise money for our scholarship fund.
