About the Fund
If you knew Ray, you would understand that his legacy was not only his extensive portfolio of Sonoma landscapes, still lifes and seascapes, but also his lifelong commitment to the creative spirit and art education in our community.
His work will continue in the form of a memorial scholarship endowed by his family, friends and community organizations such as yours. The Ray Jacobsen Memorial Scholarship is an annual scholarship to support and further the higher education of Sonoma Valley student-artists. Our goal is to create a perpetual fund of $25,000 which will support an annual $1,000 scholarship to further the art education of a Sonoma valley high school student.
