ART WALK

The Art Walk offers students an opportunity to display their creativity and to raise funds for scholarships through auctioning their art.  This will be held at the conclusion of the summer SAT prep program

This event is hosted at the Houston Art Center.

This will be a ticketed event.  Participants are required to sell at least 2 tickets at $15-20 each. Artist admissions is free and there is a $25 reg fee which will be applied to their scholarship earnings. Goal is to have minimum of 20 artist. 

Student art is displayed online 1 day prior to the event where people are able to place a bid on any particular art by the student. This sets the bidding about, and there is a $5 fee. The highest bid amount is displayed at the end of the day.  

The highest bid will be the starting bid amount for the Art Walk. Bidders much pay before leaving.
