District Houston Rodeo Art Reception Winners

Sylvia Mendez

Aldine ISD held a reception on January 19 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 attended.

The 10 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.
