The Nikos Sofialakis Center of Neoclassical Sculpture believes in Art education in its broadest sense, in keeping with its mandate to 'cultivate community interest in the Fine Arts', and to this end we support Art programs in a variety of ways, as outlined in our statement of purpose.  One such way is to provide talented individuals with the means to nurture their artistic potential and the opportunity to further develop their craft. 



At the present time, there is only one such award in effect, however the Center hopes to expand its projects in the future to include a variety of scholarships in the arts.  Please check back periodically for updates.  

​The Nikos Sofialakis Scholarship Award is an annual monetary award established by Vice Admiral Georgios  Chraniotis, founder of the Nikos Sofialakis Center of Neoclassical Sculpture, in honor of the Greek sculptor, Nikos Sofialakis.  The Scholarship is awarded to a student of the Prince's School of Traditional Arts in the United Kingdom, and is open to those students enrolled in the Icon and Wall Painting Diploma of the Liturgical Arts Program.



The purpose of this award will be to support the dual concepts of Apprenticeship and Scholarship, as experienced by the artist himself during his lifetime, and above all in furtherance of such educational efforts to promote the traditional arts, which the artist himself held in high regard.
