Art Competition
This competition, entitled "An Artistic Discovery", takes place during the month of April and is part of a nationwide program to encourage young people to utilize visual arts as a medium for self expression. All high school students in the 10th Congressional District are invited to participate.
The 10th Congressional District Art Competition allows beginners and advanced art students to create a "personal masterpiece" and have it displayed in a professional museum for others to enjoy. For the past several years, the competition has received tremendous support from the Newark Museum, which has provided a prestigious venue for the art competition display, and a reception for parents, students and teachers. All students who participate receive certificates and prizes. The grand prize winner has his or her artwork displayed in the United States Capitol Building for an entire year. Later, he or she will travel to Washington, D.C. to participate in a national ceremony with other winners from around the country. Should you have any questions about the 10th Congressional District Art Competition, or, to find out how students and schools can participate, please feel free to contact my Essex County Office at (973)-645-3213.
