We are pleased to share the winners of this year’s HBIDA Art Contest. Congratulations to:
- Jinichiro Arai
- Addison Tan
- Adeena Hasan
Their artwork reflects remarkable creativity, thoughtful expression, and a meaningful interpretation of this year’s theme, Art Speaks Louder. Each piece demonstrates the power of art to communicate identity, emotion, and understanding in ways that words alone cannot.
This contest is part of the annual Celebrating Neurodiversity Art Showcase, where students from across the Houston community come together to share their perspectives through visual art. Every student who participated contributed something unique and compelling. We are proud to celebrate their vision and the courage it takes to share their work with others.
