Four student artists from Aldine ISD had their work selected for a statewide exhibition celebrating the creativity and talent of Texas public school students.

The students’ artwork was featured in the 2026 Texas Art Education Association (TAEA) txEDCON Exhibition, held Oct. 8-11 at the George R. Brown Convention Center in Houston during the Texas Association of School Administrators and Texas Association of School Boards conference.

The exhibition, presented through TAEA’s Youth Art Month program, showcased selected artwork from prekindergarten through 12th grade students representing school districts and private schools across Texas.

Aldine ISD’s featured artists and their work included:

• Angeline Algredo, La Promesa — The Last Wish
• Carlos Lobo, La Promesa — The Guitarist
• Marrissa McNeil, Carver High School for Applied Technology, Engineering, and the Arts — Caught A Vibe
• Josué Ulloa, Carver High School for Applied Technology, Engineering, and the Arts — Guardian’s Mansion

The selection of four student artworks highlights the artistic talent and creative expression taking place across Aldine ISD classrooms. Each piece offers a glimpse into the students’ individual perspectives and the stories they bring to life through their art.

“Every student has a unique way of seeing and interpreting the world, and these four artists have created work that deserves to be celebrated,” said Kaileigh Newman, Aldine ISD visual arts director. “Having their artwork selected for a statewide exhibition is a wonderful accomplishment. We are proud of these students and grateful for the teachers who encourage them to explore their creativity, develop their skills, and share their artistic voices.”

Although the exhibition was reserved for registered conference attendees, the artwork remains available to view through TAEA’s online Student Gallery, giving the broader community an opportunity to appreciate the students’ accomplishments.

The recognition also underscores the importance of visual arts education in helping students build skills, express ideas, and discover new possibilities for their future.
