That’s the word that came to mind when I saw the winning artwork we’re honoring today. I’m amazed by the quality of the submissions, but what impresses me even more is the participation. This year, DART’s Student Art Contest received a record number of entries – with 2,246 individual participants. These submissions poured in from the DART Service Area and beyond. In fact, this year’s contest boasted participants from as far away as Houston and, even further, all the way to Georgia and Michigan! The students and staff at Louise Wolff Kahn Elementary from the Dallas Independent School District deserve special recognition. With 341 entries, they had more participants than any other school. I salute their student body for their outstanding participation, and I thank the school’s staff for placing such a strong emphasis on the arts. The arts have always been important to DART. The agency’s Station Art & Design Program makes the community a canvas, allowing customers to discover art while they discover the metroplex. This program showcases wonderful works of public art throughout our system and is another example of how DART emphasizes the fine arts. Of course, no example stands out more than the one today. Thanks to all the people that make this fantastic event possible each year. First, our community partners, media partners and prize donors for their generous support. Next, the judges for taking the time to jury this contest. Third, the teachers and parents who mentor and encourage these budding artists. Last but certainly not least, it’s important to recognize the artists themselves. Thank you for inspiring us with your creativity, passion and vision. I look forward to seeing great things from each of you in the years to come! Thank you to everyone present for playing a role in this year’s DART Student Art Contest. It’s time to celebrate our 28 winners! Sincerely, Gary C. Thomas DART President/ Executive Director 3 Program Welcome – Deborah Ferguson News Anchor NBC 5 The Occasion – Gary C.
