Three high school girls accepting scholarship awards from two older men.

Four Lenexa area high schoolers were recently honored for their artistic talents through the Lenexa Arts Council scholarship program.

The Arts Council awarded $3,000 in scholarships in visual, performing and literary arts to Lenexa area high school seniors to use toward their college educations. A committee of art professionals reviewed all applications and selected the winners.

This year’s winners are:

  • Visual art – $1,000 – Gabriella Herrera, Shawnee Mission Northwest High School

  • Performing art – first place – $1,000 – Catherine Steinacker, Shawnee Mission Northwest High School

  • Performing art – second place – $500 – Maggie Yonker, Shawnee Mission Northwest High School

  • Literary art – $500 – Elizabeth Joseph, Mill Valley High School

2019 marks the last year of the Arts Council scholarship program. In future years, funding will be used to implement new art-related programs that reach a larger audience in the community.
