El Paso Young Artists Invited to Compete in Congressional Art Competition

The El Paso Museum of Art is hosting the Congressional Art Competition. This event, started in 1982, showcases the work of young artists from Texas's 16th Congressional District, represented by Congresswoman Veronica Escobar. The competition is a nationwide initiative by the U.S. House of Representatives to encourage young students' artistic talents.

The competition is open to all high school students in the district. They submit their artwork to their representative's office, where judges select the winners. This event gives young artists a chance to display their work.

Winners receive recognition in their district and at an annual awards ceremony in Washington, DC. This recognition provides the artists with a broader platform to display their work.

The district's overall winner will have their artwork displayed in the U.S. Capitol for a year. The exhibit will also include artwork from other national winners, offering a varied view of young artistic talent in the country.

The exhibition celebrates artistic expression from the 16th Congressional District of Texas. The different mediums and styles of the artworks reflect the community's creativity, showing how art can bring people together through shared experiences.
