Jacqueline and Clarence Avant Scholarship and Arts Access Fund
Arts education plays a crucial role in developing creativity, communication, and critical thinking skills, offering rarefied riches that transcend generations. For 60 years, HSA has been dedicated to youth development, serving a diverse audience, and cultivating emerging artists and their characters. Despite the proven benefits of arts education, access remains limited for many. In order to combat this disparity, HSA has partnered with Nicole Avant. This collaboration resulted in the Jacqueline and Clarence Avant Scholarship and Arts Access Fund. This fund is a significant milestone for HSA, marking the first time substantial resources have been allocated for financial aid, tuition assistance, and scholarships. The Avant Scholarship and Arts Access Fund not only supports access to arts education but also provides an invaluable opportunity to educate HSA’s Avant Artist Scholars about the profound impact of Jacqueline and Clarence Avant. Their legacy includes shaping the careers of numerous pioneering Black artists in Hollywood and beyond. Through this fund, HSA can continue expanding access to high-quality arts education, ensuring that the next generation of artists, regardless of financial background, can thrive and carry forward the rich legacy of creative excellence and community leadership.
