Welcome to The Woodlands High School Art Trust
Update for school year 2020-21
We were hoping to move forward with our 2021 submissions and selections but that was contingent upon the school hosting a Homecoming Dance.
Unfortunately, there will be no dance this year
and no funds to purchase new works.
At this time, we are working to recruit students to help make videos of our collection that we can share with our community.
We hope all our friends, artists, students and families are staying safe at this time.

The Woodlands High School Art Trust (TWHSAT)
In 2011 The Woodlands High School created a unique art acquisition program. Professional art is chosen by
students to be permanently displayed on the walls of The Woodlands High School. The collection exposes students
to art throughout each day but also is used to enrich curriculum in areas such as language arts and social studies.
Each Fall, Texas artists are asked to submit one piece to be considered for acquisition. A student art trust
committee culls the submissions to approximately 12-15 pieces that will be voted on by the entire student body. The artworks
are placed on display and the students are each allowed one vote. The students then use funds from the
Homecoming Dance to purchase as many of the top choices as they can. TWHSAT then fundraises and
solicits donations to pay for the framing, display and conservation of these pieces.
Our collection currently consists of 39 pieces that are placed in seven "galleries" around our school.
As our school consists of both a 9th grade campus and a senior campus,
we did not want the students at the 9th grade campus to miss out on daily exposure to our collection.
Therefore, we have duplicated our collection at the 9th grade campus and they have replicas of 38 of the 39 pieces.
