School Art

How To Participate

Invitations to participate in the School Art Program are extended on an annual basis at the sole discretion of the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo. Participation in the program is limited to schools in approved public independent school districts and approved private schools. Each summer, the School Art Committee evaluates each returning school district and private school on its support of the program and evaluates new applicants based on the application criteria and the program's space availability for the coming year.

There is typically a waiting list to join the program; however, school districts and private schools are added whenever possible. Interested school districts and private schools must submit a New School Application. The deadline for submitting the application is July 15. Schools will be notified by July 31 whether or not they were selected to participate in the program.

Returning school districts and private schools must complete and return the Returning Participants Registration Form; returning schools will receive a letter by May 15 with instructions for completing the form.

The 2013 New School Application must be submitted online. Click here to submit an application for the 2013 School Art Program.
