Liora Beer Scholarship
In memory of our founder, Liora Beer, a brilliant and uniquely talented artist and entrepreneur, the Board of Directors of Artmorpheus has created the LIORA BEER SCHOLARSHIP.
The mission of Artmorpheus is to foster an inclusive, creative community and to promote economic development and innovation in the arts by providing under-represented artists and creative entrepreneurs with help to take their ideas and enterprises to the next level.
At Artmorpheus, we believe in the power of art to transform our communities and our economy. Through our Fairmount Innovation Lab (FIL), we provide artists and creative entrepreneurs with access to a wide range of business and technical resources and offer them vital career support.
Above all, we seek to provide artists and creative entrepreneurs with the tools they need to be successful and self-employed.
The Liora Beer Scholarship was created to support artists and creative entrepreneurs who embody the passion, creative spirit and drive possessed by our founder, Liora Beer. Liora loved working with artists and entrepreneurs resident in the communities along the Fairmount Cultural Corridor, especially in Uphams Corner where FIL has its home.
