The Texas Commission on the Arts (TCA) and the Texas Cultural Trust will continue to accept applications for the 2022 class of Young Masters, a joint initiative for Texas-based arts students in grades 8-11, until Nov. 15. The Young Masters program provides exemplary students with the financial help they need to pursue advanced study in the areas of visual arts, literary arts, music, theater, dance, musical theater, folk arts and media arts.
The state’s most talented young artists will receive the title of “Young Master” and be awarded grants of $5,000 per year to further their studies in their chosen arts disciplines. Students are eligible to receive the grant for two years, but they must submit a report and an update. The students selected for this program will represent the eleventh class of Young Masters. The Trust and TCA have given 372 grants to 169 previous Young Masters, awarding over one million dollars to aspiring artists since its inception in 2002.
