The Jean E. MacDonald Memorial Award is a $1,200 cash scholarship given annually by Muskoka Arts & Crafts to a secondary school student from Muskoka who is continuing with a post-secondary education in the visual arts. It also includes a one-year membership with Muskoka Arts & Crafts and one free entry in the Spring Members' Show held in April.

The award was established in 1987 and is named in honour of Jean MacDonald (1928-1994). The visual arts were Jean's first love. In supporting the visual arts, Jean exemplified the meaning of volunteerism. From the moment she joined Muskoka Arts & Crafts, Jean actively participated in all aspects of our organization.
