MHS Senior Receives Rizzo Fine Arts Scholarship

A Millburn High School graduating senior is one of five art students selected to receive a scholarship from Rizzo Fine Arts in Chatham.

Anna Goldstein was chosen from Millburn High School. All five recipients will be continuing their education in the visual arts in the fall and were chosen by their respective schools.. Other chosen recipients are Rebecca Mah from Chatham High School, Olivia Moore from Madison High School, Elmar Fujita from New Providence High School and Garrett Benisch from Summit High School.

There will be an exhibition of their artwork from June 1-30 at Rizzo Fine Arts, 32 Watchung Ave. in Chatham. An opening reception with refreshments will be held on Tuesday at 5:30-7:30 pm.

All five art students credit their art teachers for inspiring them with their dedication and passion for teaching. "Even though artistic creation and creativity are so often individual endeavors, a good teacher can make a huge difference," said Olivia Moore of Madison High School, who will be continuing her education at Smith College in Massachusetts.

Nicholas (a graduate of Millburn High School) and his wife Brenda created the scholarship in 2006 to celebrate their 25th year in business. Both began their art careers in high school and feel very strongly about the importance of art education at the high school level.
