The Middle School Art Competition is an education initiative offered by ACA for students in grades 5-8 from Houston area private schools, charter schools, and public independent school districts. The art contest offers middle school students the opportunity to participate in a 2-D juried competition, have their art displayed in public, interact with working artists, and win prizes for themselves and their school’s art program.

The public along with students, parents, teachers, and district representatives are invited to attend the “Art in the Middle” reception and view artwork from more than 530 participating students. During the reception, light bites and refreshments will be served, and Stacy Gressell along with Lisa Morales will be the featured guest speakers.

The top 30 finalists’ art will be on display at the Bayou City Art Festival Downtown on March 29-30, 2025. The finalists’ artwork will also be posted for web-based voting to determine the “People’s Choice Award”. Online voting will take place February 13 through February 28, 2025, at www.bayoucityartfestival.com. Additionally, the finalists will receive tickets to the Downtown Spring Festival and a finalist award ribbon.

ACA will announce 1st, 2nd and 3rd place along with the winner of the “People’s Choice Award” at a special reception at Bayou City Art Festival on Sunday, March 30, 2025, at 1 p.m.
