The Don Wright Memorial Scholarship

Each year, St. Michael's Printshop invites applications from emerging artists who wish to come to work at St. Michael's Printshop for one year under the Don Wright Printmaking Scholarship.

First awarded in 1991, the Don Wright Scholarship was established in recognition of visual artist Don Wright for the valuable contribution he made to the development of St. Michael's Printshop and the visual arts in Newfoundland and Labrador.
