Da Vinci Design Takes FIRST PLACE at the Houston Art Car Parade!
What an incredible moment for Da Vinci Design!
This past week/weekend, our talented Fine Arts students, alongside our amazing staff, including Mr. Kartez, traveled to Houston, Texas to participate in the world-renowned Houston Art Car Parade and Awards Ceremony. For those who may not be familiar, the Houston Art Car Parade is the largest event of its kind in the world, celebrating creativity, innovation, and artistic expression through fully transformed, moving works of art.
Artists from across the country bring their vision to life by turning everyday vehicles into bold, imaginative masterpieces, and this year, Da Vinci Design was right in the mix.
Our students didn’t just participate…they made history.
Da Vinci Design took home FIRST PLACE!!
Let that sink in.
This achievement is a true reflection of the creativity, dedication, and collaborative spirit of our students and staff. From the early design concepts to the countless hours of building, refining, and problem-solving, this project embodied what we believe in at DVD: learning that is hands-on, meaningful, and rooted in real-world application.
This wasn’t just an art project. It was engineering, storytelling, teamwork, and perseverance all rolled into one incredible experience.
We are beyond proud of our students for representing Da Vinci Design on a national stage and showing what it means to think boldly and create fearlessly. A huge thank you to Mr. Kartez, Steve Wallis, Bryan Benedict, and our Fine Arts students for leading this work and seeing the efforts through to take first place.
We couldn’t be more proud.
