The students will compete with peers across the Houston area at the NRG.

Jeremiah Barahona from Anderson Academy won the Best of Show in the Elementary School Division.

Aldine ISD held a reception on January 13 to announce the winners in the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo (HLSR) School Art Program this week.

Judges that selected the top artwork included art teachers and the Texas Art Education board members. The selections have been taken to the NRG Arena for the next level of the contest and auction.

Students, families, art instructors, and campus and district leaders. Kaileigh Newman, AISD director of visual arts, shared that the vice president of the HoustonRodeo® School Art Contest attended “to thank us for an amazing show.”

The 15 AISD winners in the high school, middle school, and elementary school divisions will be displayed in the Hayloft Gallery at the NRG Center during the RODEOHOUSTON® season, which runs Feb. 28-March 20, 2022. RODEOHOUSTON® will hold an Awards Ceremony for the School Art Contest in March.
