Student Art Contest

Announcing the Winners of the 27th Annual Student Art Contest

Performing Arts Houston’s Student Art Contest aligns the visual arts with Performing Arts Houston’s mainstage programming. Each season, students from the Houston area submit artwork to compete for cash prizes and the opportunity to have their artwork exhibited around the city. The Art Contest is open to students in grades K-12 attending public, private or home schools within a 50-mile radius of downtown Houston.

OUT OF THE BOX

The 27th Annual Student Art Contest encouraged students to think outside of the box, to expand the limits of their creativity and identify new and unique ways to express their artistry.
