It is with great pride that Art and Resistance Through Education (ARTE) will award our third annual educational scholarship award to one of our student participants in the name of artist Tatyana Fazlalizadeh. The scholarship will be awarded to a student who has demonstrated active involvement in the ARTE program and who has completed an application detailing what they have learned about human rights over the course of the year and how they will work to make positive social change.
