HIGH SCHOOL ARTISTS QUALIFY FOR STATE COMPETITION
Nearly 30 high school visual artists will compete at the Texas Art Education Association ’ s ( TAEA ) annual Visual Art Scholastic Event ( VASE ), a state-level contest , in April .
Students competed at the area level on April 17 . Ninety-five percent of MISD artists scored a 4 , the highest rating , at the event .
Student artists who receive a 4 rating at the state contest will earn a state medallion , an All-State Artist title , and be eligible for the Gold Seal Award .
