Bronxville High School senior Grace Gramins is among 60 extraordinary artists to be selected as a 2022 U.S. Presidential Scholar in the Arts nominee. The prestigious honor was bestowed by YoungArts to talented high school students – representing 23 states and 10 artistic disciplines – who exemplify artistic and academic excellence.

Gramins entered the competition with three original songs, “Back to You,” “Don’t Wanna Lose More Than I Have Already” and “Six,” which she wrote in the past year. She was selected as a 2022 YoungArts finalist in the category of voice/singer-songwriter through a rigorous blind adjudication process. As a finalist, she had the opportunity to participate in the National YoungArts Week+ in January, during which she was further evaluated for nomination to the U.S. Presidential Scholars Program. The National YoungArts Week+ featured virtual classes, workshops and mentorship from leading artists.

In May, the White House Commission on Presidential Scholars will announce the final 20 high school seniors to be recognized as U.S. Presidential Scholar in the Arts for their academic and artistic accomplishments, demonstrated leadership, community service and outreach initiatives, and overall creativity.

Bronxville Public Library
Bronxville Public Library

The Bronxville Public Library traces its origins back to 1875, when it was a small lending library housed in a room attached to the “Bronxville Model School.” The Library was officially chartered in 1906 and moved into the Village Hall Building. The needs of the library grew with the town and, in 1942, a new standalone building was erected, which is where the Library is today. Over the years, the Library was renovated and expanded to meet the needs of the community.

The Library has wonderful resources for adults and children and offers a comfortable and relaxing environment. The Library also houses a fine art collection, consisting principally of Bronxville painters and sculptors.

The Library offers special events, art exhibitions, and programs for adults, young adults and children. All events are open to the public, unless otherwise indicated.
