Winning Savor Dallas T-shirt design from Gabriela Villegas, a junior at Booker T. Washington High School for the Performing and Visual Arts.
The winning artwork of Gabriela Villegas, a junior at Booker T. Washington High School for the Performing and Visual Arts, will be featured on the Savor Dallas 2009 commemorative T-shirt, which will be sold throughout the festive Fifth Annual Savor Dallas celebration. All profits from tee-shirt sales go to the Booker T. Washington High School Art Department.
Gabriela submitted the winning design to Savor Dallas' artwork contest, and was selected from all entries received from junior class art students at Dallas' leading arts magnet school.
A panel of North Texas community leaders from the areas of arts, culture and the restaurant business selected Gabriela's design as the best in capturing the spirit of Savor Dallas, an international experience of wine, food, spirits and the arts, with wine and food events scheduled March 6 and 7 in several beautiful Downtown Dallas locations.
Gabriela's winning design is an energetic and colorful interpretation of the Savor Dallas experience, presenting several elements of the event contained in and flowing from a bountifully full wine glass - the Downtown Dallas skyline, notes on a musical staff, appetizing food and luscious red wine.
A West Dallas resident, Gabriela is investigating Texas colleges as well as art colleges. She loves to work with cut-color paper design and hopes to be an architect. Villegas also received a monetary prize for her winning entry, courtesy of Savor Dallas.
Commemorative T-shirts can be ordered from the Savor Dallas web site, www.SavorDallas.com after the event.
Second place went to Sarah Wright and third place to Erlson Neba. Both are juniors at Booker T. Washington High School. All of the entries will be displayed during Savor Dallas 2009.
Judges for this year's contest were Liz Barber of The Barber Shop; ARTS ACTIVIST Dolores Barzune; Jill Magnuson, vice president of marketing and communications for the Dallas Center for the Performing Arts; Pat Porter, President and CEO, North Texas Business for Culture and the Arts; Phil Romano and JD Miller from the Samuel Lynne Gallery, and Gary Rugoff of Gary Rugoff Sales.
