The School Art competition at the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo™ has a long history of recognizing talented junior level and high school artists. It began in 1963 as a Go Texan activity, with 700 entries. Since that time, the program has evolved into an important part of the Show, complete with its own committee responsible for handling more than 300,000 entries each year and a separate committee created in 2002 — the School Art Auction Committee.
Sooey, going once; sooey, going twice; sold to the man in the ten-gallon hat! The auctioneer bangs his gavel and completes the sale of the Grand Champion Junior Market Barrow at the Houston Livestock Show™'s Junior Market Swine Auction. The culmination of months of hard work by the Swine Auction Committee, the auction not only provides excitement for exhibitors and visitors to the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo™, but also it generates significant educational opportunities for Texas youngsters.
