History
The fund was established in October 1994 at Arrowmont School of
Arts & Crafts in honor of Rude and Daphne Osolnik during the event
"Woodturning: A Tribute To The Osolniks". Rude has been recognized
nationally and internationally as one of the father's of Modern
Woodturning. His influence both as a teacher at Berea College and
as a wood turner of major pieces now in museums throughout the country
to include The Smithsonian, Yale Museum of Art, Renwick, Mayo Foundation,
Chicago Museum of Art and History and Boston Museum of Art has marked
his place in the advancement of the Arts. Rude and Daphne teamed
to serve the arts and crafts in Appalachian Region for many years
as teachers and artists.
Presently the fund provides stipends for students and selected individuals
to attend courses at Arrowmont School of Arts. The Fund awards scholarships
to, The University of Tennessee,
Eastern Kentucky University, Centre College, Murray State University
and The Kentucky Art and Craft Foundation. The schools are allowed
through the Art Departments to award the scholarship to a qualified
student. Arrowmont School and The Osolnik Family offer two
scholarships each
during the calendar year. Applications to apply for the Osolnik
Family are available through the web site with links to Arrowmont's site
for class schedules. You may apply to Arrowmont for the
scholarships they have to award. The scholarships are primarily for youth and
those demonstrating economic need with emphasis in the woodturning
field but not to exclude the other media fields.
