Each spring, the Congressional Institute sponsors a nationwide high school visual art competition to recognize and encourage artistic talent in the nation and in each congressional district. Winners are recognized both in their district and at an annual awards ceremony in Washington, DC. The art piece of the overall winner from each congressional district will be on display in Washington, D.C. for one year.
Georgia’s 14th District Congressman Tom Graves, along with the Creative Arts Guild in Dalton, GA and Dalton State College partnered to present this year’s exhibit and competition.
Entries for the 14th District were displayed at the Creative Arts Guild’s Galleries, and a panel of judges has selected the top five winning entries. The top five entries will be on display at the Derrell C. Roberts Library, on the campus of Dalton State College, from April 1-22, 2013.
Congressman Tom Graves will
announce the overall winner at a reception in the Roberts Library on Monday, April 22,
2013 at 6:00 pm. The reception is open to the public. After the reception, the top five winning entries will be on display until May 15, 2013 in Congressman Graves’ Dalton, Georgia office located at 702 S. Thorton Avenue, Dalton, Georgia, 30720.
