The Southlake Arts Council wants to remind you that the submission deadline for Southlake Presents is coming soon! Wrap up your final creations, and submit your digital application by Friday, March 24!

The Southlake Presents Art Show and Competition will showcase our local professional artist community for all to see in Southlake Town Hall.

Selected works will be on display in the Southlake Town Hall Lobby from May 12 to June 30! A public art reception will take place on Sunday, May 14, from 5:00- 6:30 PM.

Here is what Arts Council Member Terri Messing said about this award-winning event: “I like the idea of offering a talented artist in the community a place to showcase their work. I’m looking forward to seeing different art and a variety of work from people in the community. Maybe they’ve never shown their pieces in public before. Maybe your neighbor is an artist, and you didn’t even know it. I’m excited to bring the community together through artwork.”

The Jr. VASE program is the only art event of its kind in the nation. Students are provided the opportunity to bring artworks created in their art classes to a regional event where they are interviewed by a certified juror who evaluates their work based on a standard based rubric and their understanding of the art processes involved in the development of their artwork. The jurors look for originally of concept, technical expertise, understanding of the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS), and the interpretation of the student’s stated intent.

Medals are awarded to those students receiving a superior (Rating 4) rating in each division at the regional event. These students’ artwork will be featured at the CISD K-12 Art Show during the 2013 Art in the Square event in Southlake Town Square April 26-28.
