Family dogs inspire young artists at Memorial secondary campuses

More than 50 Memorial-area secondary art students won recognition in a youth art exhibit held during the recent Houston World Series of Dog Shows. Memorial High School’s Anna Cho won both Best of Show and Best in Grade among 11th-grade student entries.

Anna, who is a Memorial High senior this year, was awarded $600 total, including $500 for Best in Show and $100 for Best in Grade. The awards were presented during the annual dog show held July 16-20 at NRG Park. Teen artists competed for prizes under the art theme, “The Dog, Man’s Best Friend,” which drew 929 separate entries from students in kindergarten through 12th grade.

Student talent from 17 school districts was displayed at the show’s 24th annual Dr. Mari Jon Filla Student Art Exhibit & Contest. The Houston World Series of Dog Shows is the city’s premier event for dog enthusiasts of all ages.

The annual show was formerly known as the Reliant Park World Series of Dog Shows. Student awards include:
