Each spring, the Congressional Institute sponsors
a nationwide high school visual art competition to recognize and
encourage artistic talent in the nation and in each congressional
district. Since the Artistic Discovery competition began in 1982, more
than 650,000 high school students have participated.
Students submit entries to
their representative’s office, and panels of district artists select
the winning entries. Winners are recognized both in their district and
at an annual awards ceremony in Washington, DC. The winning works are
displayed for one year at the U.S. Capitol. (house.gov)
"Congresswoman Louise Slaughter, co-chair of the bipartisan Congressional
Arts Caucus, announced today that works of art are now being accepted
for the 2017 Congressional Arts Competition. High school students who
reside in or attend school in New York 25 are encouraged to submit their artwork to the Memorial Art Gallery by April 29, 2017. The winning student’s artwork will be displayed for one year in the U.S. Capitol." (louise.house.gov)
