Many congratulations to all of our winners and their respective teachers in the 2025 Western Art Show competition. Northside ISD had several winners spanning multiple schools. A special shout out to Daniela Vargas, a junior at Brandeis HS, for winning a Museum Choice award from the Briscoe Western Art Museum. Vargas was recently recognized for her painting, Calm Ride, at the Brushstrokes and Ballads event held at the museum. Her work is currently on exhibit at the Briscoe. Daniela's teacher is Yma Luis.
