This year's contest theme is: Everyday Heroes. Extraordinary Community.
SamTrans, in partnership with the San Mateo County Office of Education and San Mateo County Office of Arts and Culture, is excited to be a part of the 19th Annual Art Takes a Bus Ride contest. Art Takes a Bus Ride gives 1st -12th graders a chance to have their artwork displayed on the side of a SamTrans bus for an entire year! The student art also will be displayed on ad cards inside SamTrans buses. Art Takes a Bus Ride engages students in their community and keeps art in the classroom.
