HUSHANG TOHIDLOO MEMORIAL SCHOLARSHIP
The Hushang Tohidloo Memorial Scholarship—named for long-time and dearly missed member of The Compass Atelier community Dr Hushang Tohidloo—is a one-year scholarship to attend ‘Painting Through The Lens’ classes. The recipient will be chosen on Dec 1 of the year preceding the scholarship’s use. The recipient should apply below and will be chosen based on merit as well as financial need. Applications may be sent in any time prior to Nov 1. A follow up interview with all candidates will occur between Nov 1-Dec 1.
Dr Hushang Tohidloo took up painting after his retirement from a successful dental practice. He studied with Glen Kessler in “Painting Through The Lens” for over a decade, rarely missing a class. His artwork championed high-craft, whimsical color, and personal subject matter. But he will be most remembered not for his incredible artwork, but for his kind and gentle spirit. He was a friend to anyone who made his acquaintance. His spirit will live on in this community always.
