Students from 11 SAISD choice school programs will be showing their work in the university’s art gallery. The collaborative effort may be the first time students from multiple schools coordinated the showcasing of their artistic talents in one location.

The opening reception will see the students’ art judged by local professionals who will be awarding first, second, and third place and honorable mention in three categories: 2D, 3D and collaborative work.

More than 2,000 students are currently enrolled in art programs at these 11 SAISD choice schools, taught by 13 dedicated teaching artists.
