Each year, Florida’s 19th Congressional District
holds an art competition for 9th through 12th grade students. The event gives
every high school student who attends school in the district the opportunity to
share with the community their artistic talents in the areas of drawings (colored
pencil, pencil, ink, marker, pastels and charcoal), collage, prints (including lithographs,
silkscreen and block prints), mixed
media (the use of more than two mediums such as pencil, ink, watercolor etc.)
and photography.
And I have been named as one of the three jurors who will
judge the competition!
A reception will be held Tuesday, April 12 from 2:00 - 3:30
p.m. at Florida Gulf Coast University’s Cohen Center, which is located 10501
FGCU Blvd. N, Suite 12, Fort Myers, FL 33956. All entrants will receive a
certificate of achievement, and the winning artwork will be displayed for one
year at the U.S. Capitol along with other award-winning artworks from across the
nation.
The second and third place artworks will be displayed in Congressman
Francis Rooney’s district offices.
If you or your high schooler would like to enter the
competition, please visit: www.house.gov/content/educate/art_competitionfrancisrooney.house.gov/constituent-services/arts-competition.htm
