Two students from Chandler were among those from across the state attending the Oklahoma Summer Arts Institute held last month at the University of Science & Arts of Oklahoma in Chickasha.
Grace Myers and Ian Radcliffe joined an elite group of 262 young artists as they developed their individual talents. The students were accepted through a competitive statewide audition process to study their respective disciplines in this program.
Led by nationally renowned faculty in the literary, visual and performing arts, students study for six hours a day in one of eight disciplines, including acting, chorus, dance, film and video, creative writing, drawing and painting, photography and orchestra. Evening performances, faculty showcases and demonstrations allow students to interact with and learn from other disciplines.
Each student accepted to OSAI attends on full scholarship, ensuring that financial need is not a barrier to participating in the program.
