DART is Calling All Young Artists to Make Their Masterpiece

Starting today the annual Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) Student Art Contest has begun accepting individual entries from all North Texas students through Friday, January 25, 2019. The theme of this years contest is "My Next Stop is _____"

Kindergarten through 12th grade students throughout North Texas will compete for the opportunity to have their artwork featured on DART rail stations, buses and inside trains.

Winner's artwork will be displayed at the Dallas Museum of Art, Love Field Airport, the Courtyard Theater in Plano and on DART's website, DART.org. Prizes will be awarded to first place winners and runners-up in different grade-level categories. Submissions received on or before the early-bird deadline on November 30 will receive a special prize.

DART will host a reception in the spring for contest winners and their families along with community partners DMA, Dallas Contemporary, Half Price Books, Perot Museum of Nature and Science, Dallas Zoo and media partners NBC 5, Telemundo 39, Dallas Morning News, Al Día, Suburban Parent and Plano Profile.
