The Corpus Christi International Airport, Corpus Christi Parks & Recreation Department, Corpus Christi Arts & Cultural Commission, and the Friends of Corpus Christi Public Libraries are sponsoring the Youth Art and Design Contest to celebrate National Inspire Your Heart with Art 2022.

Youth in grades 6 through 12 are invited to create a work of art inspired by the theme, “Where in the World (or Beyond!) Would You Go if You Could Go Anywhere?”

Artists and designers should submit a digital image of their work to the Corpus Christi Parks & Recreation – Arts & Culture Office, ShellyR@cctexas.com, with “AIRPORT ART CONTEST” on the subject line of the email and with the STUDENT NAME, SCHOOL, and GRADE in the message portion of the email.

The DEADLINE to submit entries is midnight on Monday, February 28, 2022.

A selection committee of representatives from the Airport Board, the Arts & Cultural Commission, and the Library Board will award prizes for first, second, and third place in each grade level. The original artwork of all first-place winners will be displayed on a gallery wall at the Corpus Christi International Airport.

The Corpus Christi Parks & Recreation Department serves as liaison to the Arts & Cultural Commission. For more information, please call (361) 826-3489 or go to the Arts & Culture page on the City of Corpus Christi website https://www.cctexas.com/parks/services/general-government/arts-culture
