There’s still time for local young artists to submit their work to possibly get it displayed in a special exhibit in the U.S. Capitol.
The 2019 Congressional Art Competition was announced last month by U.S. Representative Mike Kelly of the 16th Congressional District.
He encouraged high school students to show off their artistic talent and be critiqued by an independent panel of local artists.
All artwork received will be displayed at a gallery in Greenville with a winning entry receiving two free round trip airfare tickets to Washington D.C. for an official reception of all national winners. Three runners up will have their artwork displayed in Kelly’s office.
All entries must be received at Kelly’s office by 5 p.m. Friday.
