The Charlotte Glencross Scholarship

Charlotte Glencross was instrumental in the creation of The Charlotte Street Arts Centre; which is why she is the namesake of this award as well as our in-house gallery.  Charlotte was an inspiration to her community not only through her work as a fine artisan but as an activist for social justice.

2022 Recipient

A huge congratulations goes out to the 2022 recipient of the Charlotte Glencross Scholarship, Meghan Mainville! Meghan is a contemporary dancer, and here’s what she has to say:

"I am very grateful to say that I am the 2022 recipient of the Charlotte Glencross Scholarship. I am a contemporary dancer from Bathurst, NB. I currently work as a dancer, choreographer, teacher, stage manager, and arts administrator in New Brunswick and Ottawa. I will be using the Charlotte Glencross Scholarship to participate in the Limón Launch training program in New York from February to May 2023. This program will allow me to study Limón modern dance technique directly from the source, making me a stronger and more versatile dancer! I am looking forward to spending the next few months in NY!! Thank you for helping me achieve this goal!”
