Congressional Art Competition
Reception Awards
Saturday, May 11th Ι 1:00 – 3:00 PM
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.
A special award ceremony for the art competition is scheduled on Saturday, May 11th at 1PM in our Lower Level Gallery with Representative Crane.
