An Artistic Discovery is the annual nationwide Congressional High School Art Competition initiated by Members of the U.S. House of Representatives in the Districts. Each spring, I sponsor a local art competition for high school students in order to encourage and recognize the rich artistic talent in the five county area.
Students submit their artwork through their high schools, which accept up to ten entries.
In April, independent judges, chosen by the Canton Art Institute, determine which entry receives a blue ribbon award in conjunction with a four day exhibit of the entries. The winning work will then be sent to Washington, D.C. to represent my district and will be displayed with other area winners in a ten month long exhibit in the U.S. Capitol. For more information, contact the Canton office .
