Since 2015, the Art Guild of Menomonee Falls has sponsored a Menomonee Falls High School student to attend a week-long summer camp.
CONGRATS TO OUR 2025 SCHOLARSHIP WINNER!!
Members were given the opportunity to meet Jayden, our 2025 SCHOLARSHIP WINNER, at both our New Member Social and October membership meeting. Currently a sophomore at MFHS, his application told of his passion for graphic design and desire to develop his skills into a career.
Jayden wow-ed us at the October meeting, bringing in samples of his artwork. He showed his large charcoal drawing and clay face he create at the week-long UW-W Art Camp and shared a few personal items as well.
At both events, Jayden emphatically remarked that he rated the Art Camp experience as a “10 out of 10!” He boasted that the UW-W teachers were amazing and added what a great learning environment the Camp was— being exposed to so many artistic styles and mediums.
