"Ministering the Little Girl in Me" by RHS student Kathy Tran
At each of its bi-annual events, the Cottonwood Art Festival selects a few RISD students to appear as part of its Emerging Artists Program. Available to high school and college students, the program helps mentor young artists and encourage them to exhibit their work.
This year, there are five students from JJ Pearce and five from Richardson High School. They are:
