March 15, 2018 -- The Mayor and The Mayor’s Office of Cultural Affairs encourage City of Houston high school juniors and seniors to apply for The Mayor’s Art Scholarship program.

Winners will receive scholarships up to $1,000 for their original art work.

The Mayor’s Art Scholarship competition fosters collaboration among Houston-area high school fine arts departments and recognizes excellence in student art, which expresses cultural identities and features of life in Houston area neighborhoods. The program is a partnership among The Mayor’s Office of Cultural Affairs, Houston Arts Partners and the Greater Houston Community Foundation.
