There is only one month left for applications to be accepted for the spring for The Bead Project. If you are unfamiliar with this program, it is a scholarship program designed for economically disadvantaged women. Women have the chance to learn the art of glass beadmaking and jewelry making. What is especially neat is that they also learn how to market and sell their work.

To apply women must be age 18 and over, be low-income, and living in New York City. As part of the interview applicants should provide a brief presentation of artwork is required during the interview, but a formal art background is not required. The program is not for currently enrolled students. Proof of income is required and must be included with the application.

Deadline: February 1 for Spring Session. All applications received between deadlines are kept on file for the following session.
