Art for Scholarship Fund
Each year a piece of original art is created and used by the Washington Association of Wine Grape Growers for their annual meeting and convention program cover. The art is then printed and sold with all proceeds going to the Walter J. Clore Scholarship Fund.
The Walter J. Clore Scholarship was established in 1997 by the Washington Association of Wine Grape Growers in honor of Dr. Clore's grape research and lifetime achievements in the field of viticulture and enology. During the 1950's, '60's and '70's, while a researcher at the Washington State University Irrigated Agriculture Research and Extension Center, Dr. Clore worked with the pioneer grape growers in the state of Washington to foster the rebirth of the wine industry.
Working with growers, Dr. Clore and his colleagues published information on grape varieties, diseases, insects, mineral nutrition, irrigation, cover crops, weed control and climatological effects, including winter injury. He tested various trellis designs, which eventually led to the widespread adoption of mechanical harvesting. More than any other individual, Dr. Clore has had a profound and lasting impact on the Washington State wine industry.
The Washington Association of Wine Grape Growers, through the Washington Wine Industry Foundation, offers scholarships to students interested in the studies of viticulture or enology.
