Christine Rice was a talented young artist who focused on ‘functional art’ that intertwined with her life in the Pacific Northwest. She was becoming known for her block prints and wearable designs when her life was tragically cut short – at age 31 – by an undiagnosed medical condition. In Christine’s honor, a scholarship has been set up to encourage emerging young artists to participate in the Clark County Open Studios program. With the help of the board of directors as well as Christine’s family, this scholarship will be awarded annually with the intent of giving emerging artists the support needed to help launch their art careers.
