7th & 8th Grade Students Should Sign Up Now!
It's time for local middle school students to sign up for the 7th
annual Fast Draw Competition scheduled for Saturday, September 14, 2019
from 10 am – 12 pm in the area in front of Dick's Sporting Goods at The
Woodlands Mall. Sponsored by The Woodlands Arts Council in partnership
with The Woodlands Development Company, an affiliate of the Howard
Hughes Corporation, the event brings talented students together to draw a
"mystery object" in 45 minutes.
The artwork will be judged by arts professionals. The winning
students will be awarded gifts donated by The Woodlands Mall. Sign up is now available. Participation is limited to the first 40 students who sign up, so reserve your spot now!
"This is a truly fun competition that encourages young students to
express themselves through the arts," said Jenny Wright, Executive
Director of The Woodlands Arts Council. "The time limit makes the event
even more exciting and stimulating for these kids and everyone watching.
The 'mystery object' to be drawn will be selected by the sponsors and
slowly revealed prior to the event!”
Fast Draw is one of three educational outreach events hosted by The
Woodlands Mall and presented by The Woodlands Arts Council each year.
Summer Art Workshop, held in July, and the Photography Contest, planned
for November, are other fun arts events for different age groups held at
The Mall. These events are part of the cultural and educational
outreach arm of The Woodlands Arts Council – Because Art Matters – that
presents a wide variety of programs for artists of all ages throughout
the year.
"This event and many others like it are part of The Woodlands Arts
Council's Because Art Matters educational and cultural outreach
programs, made possible by generous community partners, sponsors and
donors. We are also grateful to TWHS art teacher Jen Lucas and her
students for their creativity and support of this year's project.”
