Rebecca Purchase is the 2012 winner of the Student Art Scholarship. A recent graduate of Marblehead High School with high academic standing, Rebecca will attend Columbia College of Chicago where she intends to major in Technical Theatre and Costume Design.
During her high school career, she was founder and president of the Art Club, a member of the National Art Honor Society and earned technical kudos and art recognition for a number of school productions. She was voted “most artistic” by her classmates this year. Her volunteer experience includes Salem Hospital, Marblehead Festival of Arts and Marblehead Little Theatre.
“Since nursery school, my passion for the arts has shaped my development as a person, and the Festival of Arts has always been part of my life. I really feel that the Festival is the center of the Arts in Marblehead, and I am proud and excited to have been recognized for my work by this wonderful organization.”
