David M. Hopkins
Annual Memorial Scholarship

The scholarship is awarded to teenage artists to allow them to participate in Hameau Farm Studio's Artist Workshops.

David Hopkins was a talented professional landscape painter and loving father. In 2002, he tragically died in a farm tractor accident, leaving behind a teenage daughter.

The David Hopkins Memorial Scholarship is given each year to two teenage artists who join adults and other mentoring teens
to paint at Hameau Farm Studio's Artist Workshops. It is to encourage
artistic relationships in an enriching and safe environment.
