Talented SBISD artists chosen to display their artwork in Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo 

 

 

Each year, Spring Branch ISD students submit their art pieces to the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo (HLSR) School Art Program. This year, 15 students were selected to display their artwork in the Hayloft Gallery during the Rodeo, beginning Feb. 28. 

“We could not be more proud of the students whose artwork was selected for the auction by the HLSR!” said Houston Hayes, SBISD director of Performing and Fine Arts. “This is the premier educational art competition and auction in our area and their dedication to their craft is a wonderful example of the standard we try to maintain in the SBISD Fine Arts department.” 

The HLSR School Art contest is judged by the show's School Art Committee. The artwork is divided into three categories: elementary, junior high, and high school. Best of Show, Gold Medal, and Special Merit awards are selected in each category. The program supports approximately 130 different school districts in the Houston area and receives thousands of entries each year. 

During the HLSR’s annual Art Auction, the students will have a chance to win thousands of dollars for scholarship needs.
