Richardson ISD Visual Arts is incredibly grateful to receive a $1,500 check from the WildFlower! Art Festival Art Guitar Auction in support of our students, teachers, and visual arts programming.

This amazing program continues to serve as a powerful community fundraiser. During the recent festival, the auction raised an incredible $10,783, directly supporting Network of Community Ministries and Richardson ISD Visual Arts education.

For the past 16 years, this partnership has helped celebrate creativity, support student artists, and strengthen the connection between art education and WildFlower! Art Festival Art Guitar Auction. Richardson ISD Superintendent Richardson ISD

What a wonderful last day of Elementary Art Camps at MHE and MST!

Our young artists spent the week exploring their creativity, trying new techniques, and celebrating the joy of making art. From colorful student displays and printmaking experiments to imaginative 3D creations, the final day was filled with creativity, confidence, and smiles.

A huge thank you to our incredible art educators for creating such engaging, meaningful experiences for students. Their passion and care helped make this summer art camp a beautiful success! Richardson ISD Richardson ISD Superintendent

Day 3 of ES Summer Art Camp at MST & MHE was full of color, imagination, and creative discovery!

Across both locations, our campers continued to create, learn, innovate, and ignite wonder through hands-on art experiences. From painted papers and metal tooling to papier-mâché sculptures, watercolor experiments, and soft sculptures, our young artists are exploring materials, building skills, and bringing their ideas to life in joyful and meaningful ways.

We are so proud of the creativity, curiosity, and confidence growing each day at MST and MHE! Richardson ISD Richardson ISD Superintendent

Our RISD Visual Arts educators recently gathered for the 2026 Summer Mini-Conference: Innovate, Create & Grow! It was a meaningful day of creativity, connection, and professional learning designed to help art teachers recharge their own artistic practice before stepping into the next instructional year.

Teachers participated in hands-on studio experiences, including ceramics, observational painting, and figure drawing from life. The day also included an on-site museum experience at The Warehouse, where educators explored new exhibitions, sketched, discussed curatorial connections, and reflected on ways to bring fresh inspiration back to their students.

We are grateful for our incredible art educators and their continued commitment to creating, growing, and inspiring student artists across Richardson ISD. Richardson ISD Richardson ISD Superintendent
