A Hockaday student won Best of Show in an annual student art contest organized by Dallas Area Rapid Transit.

Amber Li, a freshman at Hockaday, won for her piece that says, “Paint the town with magic. Ride DART” surrounded by colorful Dallas cityscapes.

Each year, the DART Student Art Contest challenges North Texas students in all grade levels to illustrate an annual theme. This year, artists had to fill in the blank: “Paint the town ____. Ride DART.”

More than 150 schools and organizations submitted nearly 1,200 art entries.
