This year’s Visual Arts Scholastic Event (VASE)) was held virtually on February 5. The mission of VASE is to recognize student achievement in the Visual Arts by providing high school art students a standard of excellence and goals to achieve. 56 Keller ISD Artists qualified for the State VASE this year. The State VASE contest will be held in April on the 29-30.

Everyone who participated in this contest worked very hard to try and make it to the top, and each piece of art holds a story that is close to the participants hearts. 20 of those qualifiers are from our school; all having to go through the scoring process to get to the next round.

“I am proud of all the students who made it into State VASE,” one of the instructors, Chrissy Fitch, says. “All of the qualifiers did really good, but there was a disadvantage to some students since it wasn’t in person, I just think that in person being able to see the artwork is way better no matter what the pieces were.”
