The Prince Edward Island Council of the Arts is currently working with the family of the late artist Erica Rutherford to create an endowment fund and scholarship for Island students pursuing a post-secondary education in the arts. As Erica herself has an artist in many disciplines, the planned scholarship will also be open to students studying in a variety of areas.

The complete scholarship details will be available as soon as they are approved by both the family and the Council’s Board of Directors.

Donations are being accepted now.

The Council can accept online donations via the Canada Helps website here:

We can also receive cheques at our offices. Please note “Donation for Erica Rutherford Memorial” on the memo line of the cheque and send to:

PEI Council of the Arts / Erica Rutherford Memorial
