Their art was selected out of 688 entries.
The 2021 theme for the annual contest was “Everyday Heroes Ride DART” and students were asked to interpret the theme using crayons, paint, markers, colored pencils and/or digital art. The students’ art is currently on display at Love Field Airport through Aug. 31 and at the DART website. It will also be displayed at DART rail stations, on buses and inside trains, as well as at the Dallas Museum of Art.
