Two Oliver Community Arts Council bursaries valued at $500 a piece were awarded recently to SOSS graduating students pursuing post-secondary education in the arts.

Adam Silbernagel (pictured at left) and Marli Mounsey were the winners. Silbernagel’s photo was taken as part of the RipOff Artists’ Challenge 2009, at which the teen reproduced Gustav Klimt’s Emilie Floge as a cubist pen and ink.
