Reaching New Heights: Youth Art Month Billboard on Display Throughout Austin
Austin ISD Youth Art Month kicked off with the signing of a student-designed billboard.
Travis Early College High School art student John Ramirez signed his artwork on the billboard at 1614 Montopolis Road.
The Austin Fire Department lifted Ramirez, Fine Arts Director Alan Lambert and the student’s art teacher, Rachael Wellborn up in a fire truck bucket to sign the billboard.
Ramirez’s artwork illustrates how art is able to ‘magically’ reach and effect communities to represent this year’s Youth Art Month theme, “Art is Magical.”
