Our Mission
Mission Statement
Palos Fine Arts is dedicated to building community by promoting life-learning opportunities in the arts for the Greater Palos area. The values that guide our mission are:
excellence and quality in arts programs
recognition of regional artists
development of community partnerships
sharing arts resources
arts scholarships
PALOS FINE ARTS SCHOLARSHIPS 2023 Palos Fine Arts was founded in 1984 to stimulate, promote and present the arts in the Palos area. By recognizing the importance of the arts in everyone’s life, it was natural to establish a scholarship program. Palos Fine Arts has been awarding scholarships since 1991. What better way to stimulate the arts than to support young or adult artists, and educators as they pursue knowledge in their chosen art form.
