Spring Branch ISD students recently showcased their creativity during Create Fest, a multi-faceted visual arts event that includes a student artist business fair, art competitions, art workshops and a district-wide art show. 

Create Fest was hosted at Westchester Academy for International Studies and celebrated the visual arts, while also providing an opportunity for students across SBISD to showcase their artwork in a professional and public environment and connect with local artists in the community. 

“Thank you to our sponsors, parents, staff and student volunteers! Without their support our festival would not exist,” said Sally Doyle, SBISD Visual Arts coordinator. “This event was created to give our students another avenue to be creative and expand our reach into the community.” 

Event sponsors included Magness Orthodontics, Adventure Chix, Smiles for Kids, the Ussher family and the Metcalf family. Funds raised were used to purchase contest supplies, event t-shirts and banners, art contest winner prizes and infrastructure fees.  

“We hope everyone enjoyed Create Fest and we look forward to seeing everyone next year!” concluded Doyle.
