The Art Council of Plant City is proud to introduce you to the 2019-2020 Scholarship Recipient, Rylee Marchese. Even during an unexpected ending to her senior year, she stayed positive and finished strong. Rylee earned her diploma from Plant City High School where she was involved in the National Honor Society, Art Club, GSA (Gender Sexuality Alliance) and the East Hillsborough Art Guild.
Rylee has received numerous art awards from different organizations and held many leadership positions in the clubs she was involved with. She was a Historian, Secretary and Officer in GSA and was Vice President and President of the Art Club. Rylee was very active in sports as well. She was on the Varsity Tennis and Swim Team for all four years.
Rylee impressed the council by being very involved with the community. To name just a few, she helped with the Plant City Food Bank, Walden Lake Elementary and Christmas Lane.
Rylee wrote an essay describing the work of Keith Haring and captured how art was a safe space for her to express her emotions. She also stated the best word to describe her is “hard working.”
Ms. Rylee Marchese will be attending the University of South Florida for the fall semester where she will be majoring in Art and Political Science. We are truly very proud of all she has accomplished and wish her all the best in the future.
