Sponsor an Artist
From 2022 we have awarded $5,000 scholarships to each of our artists. This program was an incredible success and your support is vital to continue our much-needed Scholarships.
These scholarships allow our Artists a greater financial freedom. They allow them to flex their full time work with their study with Pacific Opera Studio. Each applicant submits a study plan outlining their intentions for the scholarship which can include financing lessons, coaching, new performance attire, headshots and much more.
Support such as this is simply invaluable at this development stage and can facilitate more efficient and detailed learning.
If you are interested in sponsoring an artist or have any further questions please contact our General Manager for a confidential conversation.
