“There are some very talented artists right here in our district,” said Rep. Loudermilk. “I’m always impressed by the art our high school students submit, and I’m excited to see what their creativity brings to this year’s competition. No one should miss the opportunity to see this great local talent.”
The annual Congressional Art Competition is open to all high school students living in Georgia’s 11th Congressional District. The winner of this year’s competition will be recognized at a special awards ceremony in Washington, D.C., and have their artwork featured in the halls of the U.S. Capitol for a year.
Artwork entries will be displayed at the Southern Museum of Civil War and Locomotive History from March 20 through March 31. All guests are welcome to stop by and view the exhibit free of charge during the hours of 9:30 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. Monday – Saturday, and 11:00 a.m. – 6:00 p.m. Sunday.
