Seven years ago, the Fort Worth Safe City Commission started an art contest for students K-12 grade.  The art students were asked to create artwork that illustrated a city with no violence.  Each school has a panel of judges that chooses 3 pieces of art that best fit the criteria of the contest.  The winning artists are awarded prizes, which vary from year to year and differ based on the students' grade level.  The students’ artwork, which becomes property of the Safe City Commission, is framed and put on display.  Five years ago, the artwork submitted by Jesus Ruiz, a 5^th grader from Mr. Nilsson’s homeroom, was chosen as the winning piece from Atwood McDonald.  Not only was his artwork put on display at the Museum of Science and History, it also traveled around the nation. Recently, the Safe City Commission published a book to celebrate some of the best artworks.  Jesus’ drawing was one of 87 pieces chosen for the book, which included artwork from across the district at all levles, but only 12 elementary schools had students' artwork selected. Many wonderful artworks have been created over the past six years by Fort Worth ISD students.  To learn more about the Fort Worth Safe City Commission and view the incredible artwork, visit the organization’s website at www.imaginenoviolence.org.
