LOCAL ART STUDENTS BENEFIT FROM $1 MILLION KNIGHT FOUNDATION AWARD Design and Architecture High School and New World School of the Arts students will be able to take cultural field trips to expand their horizons, thanks to $1 million in new funding from the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation. Many Miami artists often begin their careers at one of two schools, DASH or NWSA. The new funding will help those students expand their educational opportunities by permitting them to attend pre-college programs and go on national and international trips for cultural enhancement. Students also participate in competitions that award college scholarships. The award was announced as part of $23 million in funding Knight Foundation recently committed to the arts in South Florida. The support brings Knight Foundation’s total investment in South Florida’s diverse and dynamic cultural community to $86 million in six years. ### 12/JS/554/GC About the John S. and James L.
