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.
According to U.S. Representatives Mike Kelly of the 16th Congressional District and Glenn G.T. Thompson of the 15th District this year’s Congressional Art Competition is again underway.
The Congressmen are encouraging high school students to show off their artistic talent and be critiqued by an independent panel of local artists. Winners will be announced later in May and winning entries will be displayed in the U.S. Capitol for a year or in a local gallery.
The deadline for submissions to Kelly’s office is May 2nd while Thompson will continue accepting entries until Friday. Visit either congressman’s website for a complete list of rules and requirements.
