The Guadalupe el Torrero (GeT) Foundation was honored to collaborate with the IMAS to present the artwork of students from Brewster School and San Isidro School. Middle school students from Brewster and San Isidro submitted artworks for the annual GeT Art Contest. The goals of this contest were focused on encouraging students to produce art and connect with their creativity at school through drawing, photography, painting, and digital art.
The Guadalupe el Torrero (GeT) Foundation promotes the arts and education along the borderlands of South Texas and Mexico to foster collaborations between the arts and sciences to connect artists, students, and our community with the world.
The purpose of these GeT Art Contest awards is to support education and advance the creative works of students, artists, and their teachers working on studies and working with museums in our community such as the International Museum of Art & Science (IMAS). These awards encourage students to pursue their passion in the arts, because their success aligns with the mission statement of the GeT Foundation.
The GeT Foundation sends its sincerest thanks to these students’ teachers and parents, Adam Cantu at Brewster School in the ECISD and Verónica López at San Isidro School from the San Isidro ISD, for their mentorship and support. The GeT Foundation is grateful to Carlos Limas, MFA and Angela Scardigno, MFA for their curatorial leadership in this exhibition.
We also thank Ann Fortescue and all the staff at the International Museum of Art & Science for their hard work to make this exhibition a success.
