Frisco ISD’s many talented artists step into the spotlight during the District’s yearlong series of vertical art shows, which begin Nov. 6.
Students’ works are chosen by campus art teachers to be displayed with peers from their feeder patterns. The shows open Nov. 6 with Reedy and Frisco High and their feeder elementary and middle schools, and the last show closes April 28, 2026.
The display of outstanding student visual art recognizes the hard work, growth and accomplishments of students. The District celebrates them and the dedicated teachers who helped foster a love of visual art.
“When students share their work publicly, it’s not just about showcasing skill — it’s about sharing a piece of their imagination and empowering the voices of the artists,” said Cade Butler, fine arts coordinator. “Vertical art shows provide opportunities for students to let their creativity shine while giving the community a chance to appreciate the talent being cultivated across FISD through a robust visual arts K-12 education.”
