A cash prize of $1,000 will be awarded to a local artist who has contributed to the community through their art while fighting through adversity.
“From his childhood, Griffin coped with a visual handicap, congenital nystagmus, which would have been the reason for most talented artists to cease performing. Rather than giving up his artistic dreams, Griffin invited his audience to join him on a journey of discovery and beauty that was possible through the lens of his camera and his varied canvases. His legendary music enchanted listeners because he played from the heart and not by sight.”
Griffin passed away at 45 years old from complications related to cancer on October 7, 2007.
“The Scott Griffin Fund was created at the Community Foundation to keep his memory alive and to honor those artists who approach their art and life with the same passion and persistence as Griffin,” the release stated.
Artists can apply through CFNLA’s scholarship portal by Friday, August 8, at 5 p.m. For more information, go to cfnla.org/2025-scott-griffin-award.
