Palettes and Paintings is sixth annual fundraiser for The Woodlands High School Art Trust, a non-profit organization.

Palettes is a silent auction including 100 wooden artist palettes crafted into original works of art by talented students, faculty, alumni, and local artists will be open during the evening. All proceeds will be used to grow and conserve the permanent collection of professional art work on display daily in the hallways of The Woodlands High School.

Paintings will be the unveiling of the top three artworks by professional Texas artists voted on by the entire TWHS student body for addition to The Woodlands High School Art Trust permanent collection. The students will be using funds from the 2015 Homecoming Dance to purchase artworks from the top three selections to add to the permanent collection. All other artworks are available for purchase by the public throughout the evening. The top three artworks are chosen from a field of 15 professional Texas artists selected by a student art committee. Posters of the 15 candidate artworks will be located throughout the school during January. All 15 artworks will be on display during student lunch times at the main campus on Monday, February 1 and Tuesday, February 2, with poster enlargements of the artworks on display at the 9th grade campus on the same days.  Student voting will be on Wednesday, February 3, 2016.
