Hundreds of students and their families were on hand last month for the crowning of the area’s top middle school artists at the 34th Annual Private School Art Invitational. All three of Dallas’ Jewish day schools showed themselves to be accomplished and competitive in the arts.
Students participated from dozens of Metroplex schools, including Greenhill School, Parish Episcopal School, The Hockaday School and St. Mark’s School of Texas. Akiba Academy hosted this year, having more than 200 pieces of student art hung in their lobby for three weeks.
