Mark D. Norley Memorial Scholarship for Visual Arts
Applications for 2026 open February 2- April 10.
Each spring, Glacier Art Museum (formerly Hockaday Museum of Art) offers a $1,000 visual arts scholarship to a graduating senior visual art student in memory of longtime volunteer and arts educator Mark D. Norley (1931-2020). A lifelong arts educator, Kalispell resident Mark Norley eagerly supported opportunities for young people to develop their skills and to consider careers in the arts. Mark was a valued museum supporter who generously donated his time not only to the art museum, but also to many area nonprofits. In 2021, to honor Mark, Glacier Art Museum and James Udick established the Mark D. Norley Memorial Scholarship for Visual Arts, to be awarded annually to a deserving graduating local high school senior visual art student.
Applications for 2026 open February 2- April 10.
