Scholarships
The Westfield Art Association seeks to provide an annual scholarship to one or more graduating seniors from Westfield High School who intend to pursue art in college. The proceeds for the scholarship come from the sale of artwork graciously donated by our member artists.
2025 Scholarship Winners - Olivia Gaffney and Sophia Basaldua
The Westfield High School art department teachers selected two winners of the 2025 Westfield Art Association student scholarship – Olivia Gaffney and Sophia Basaldua. We were fortunate to raise enough money at our scholarship sale to give each student $500 to use in college. Olivia and Sophia also get a free membership for one year as scholarship winners. Hopefully we will see their work in an upcoming WAA member show.
2025 Scholarship Winner Olivia Gaffney
We are happy to feature some of the art of our scholarship winners on our website. Below is a gallery of artwork by Olivia Gaffney. Olivia is heading to Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) in Troy, NY this fall to study architecture. You can see more of her work on Instagram @art.vee.loo or on her website at https://oliviagaffneyportfolio.my.canva.site/

The 2025 scholarship art sale will be on view from April 25 through May 23 at South Avenue Arts in Garwood. Anyone interested in purchasing art to help fund a scholarship can do so through our website. Please see our Exhibitions and Shows page to view the work and for more details.
2024 Scholarship Winners
In 2024, the Westfield Art Association scholarship sale raised enough money to provide scholarships to two graduating seniors, Nalyssa Reyes and Chloe Pinkowski. We are excited to feature the work of Nalyssa Reyes below.
