Wes '26 with his self-portrait
13 middle school students showcased their artistic endeavors at this year’s Private School Art Invitational (PSAI). PSAI was established in 1983 as a collaboration and partnership between ESD and Trinity Christian Academy in order to create a venue for middle school student art to be championed and recognized in the Dallas metroplex area. This year, ESD had one outstanding student place: congratulations to Wes '26 for earning Third Place for his self-portrait!
PSAI focuses not only on student achievement, but allows middle school art educators from around Dallas to be able to come together, learn from one another, and share best practices that could be brought back to the studio and classroom. This year’s host school was Trinity Christian Academy, but unfortunately, the opening reception was canceled due to inclement weather. However, you can view the artwork online.
Congratulations to all 13 artists who partipcated:
