Eight Denton ISD Students’ Artwork Displayed at State Conference

Eight Denton ISD students were chosen to have their artwork displayed at the Texas Association of School Administrators and Texas Association of School Boards (TASA/TASB) conference.

Each year, the Texas Art Education Association (TAEA) presents an exhibit of artwork created by Pre-K-12th grade students representing schools from across Texas. The TASA/TASB conference is attended by school board members, superintendents and district administrators. The conference provides a unique and prestigious opportunity for the selected students to display their artistry to a broad audience of educational leaders and professionals.

“We are extremely proud of the students who had their artwork on display in the TASA/TASB convention exhibit,” said Eddy Russell, Director of Fine Arts. “This exhibit allows school board members and district leaders from all across Texas to experience the outstanding artwork our art students create in Denton ISD.
