Local High School Art Students from VISD Secure Majority of State Competition Spots

Victoria East and West High School art students have achieved notable success in the Visual Arts Scholastic Event (VASE) Art Competition. The competition, hosted by Victoria West High School, received over 350 entries. Only 23 spots were available for the State round, and students from Victoria Independent School District (VISD) secured 14 of them.

The students advancing to the State level include representatives from four divisions. These students, from 9th to 12th grade, have produced a range of artworks under their teachers' guidance.

Jamie Sainz, VEHS Art Teacher and District Visual Arts Facilitator, expressed satisfaction with the students' achievements. She noted that many students are passionate about art and see it as a potential career. She acknowledged the years of practice required to develop artistic skills and praised her colleagues for their guidance and support.

The State Round of the VASE Art Competition will take place at San Marcos High School on April 26 - 27. Over 2,000 artworks will be exhibited, and the public is welcome to attend. The qualifying artworks from VISD students can be viewed online.

In conclusion, the success of VISD art students in the VASE Art Competition reflects their talent, effort, and their teachers' commitment. As they prepare for the State level competition, they have the full support of their school and community.
