Caitlin Savage, a student at Plano East Senior High School was the winner of the 2017 DART student art contest. Perhaps this year the winner will be you, your son or daughter, or someone you know. Submissions for the 2017 DART student art contest are being accepted through February 28, so, if you know a budding artist, now would be the time to give them a nudge.
Last year’s winner, Caitlin, received a $1,000 cash prize and her winning art (pictured above) was displayed on the side of a DART bus traveling across the agency’s 13-city service area.
