• Fort Worth Mayor's Art Show

    Posted by Robert Richard on 5/6/2024

    On Saturday evening, WHHS competed in Mayor Mattie Parker's Art Show at Fort Works Art. We had five pieces of art that were selected from about 900 entries to be included in the show. They only pick 40–45 pieces for the show, so just getting into it is an accomplishment.

    Art from Nikole Aceves, Jimmy Rangel, and Belle Galvez (3 pieces) were picked.

    Congrats to Belle Galvez, who took 1st Place, which comes with a $500 prize and a stylish trophy.

    In addition to that, patrons bought two of her paintings, one for $500 and one for $250, so she scored $1250 on Saturday, which she commented, "That's more than I make in a month (at her job)!" Belle schmoozed with the mayor and had photographers all over her for the remainder of the evening. Her winning piece will hang in the Mayor's office for the next year.

    I'm extremely proud of my kids, especially Belle, who has had quite a year of accomplishments.
