In June, TACFA awarded five $2000-scholarships for a total of $10,000 in scholarship awards, to TUSD high school seniors who will further their arts education in a post-secondary institution. Scholarship winners were: Courtney Beavers (visual arts and drama) and Kyle Evans (instrumental music), members of the first graduating class of Beckman High School; Giselle Strauss (art in oil and acrylics) of Foothill High; and Peter Parrish (drawing and painting) and Leah Birkenbach (photography and creative writing) from Tustin High.

In May, artwork by high school students in the TUSD was displayed at the Tustin Area Senior Center, as part of TACFA’s annual Student Art Show. First, Second, and Third Place art in various divisions, as well as, a Best of Show prize, were awarded by a panel of judges. Winning students received cash prizes. Teachers will buy art supplies with the money they were given by TACFA. Enderle Center Merchants Association, EMS Development Company, AA Jewel Box and Chemers Gallery were sponsors and donated prize money.

During the 2006-2007 school year, TACFA’s arts education program in TUSD elementary schools continued with funding for the Art Masters series at Heideman and Beswick Elementary Schools. In support of this program, TACFA received a twenty-five hundred dollar ($2,500) grant from the Art-A-Fair Foundation, a non-profit organization working directly with the Art-A-Fair Festival of Laguna Beach, California to promote the arts.
