I'm judging the Congressional Art Competition


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
