Congressman Jim Costa is excited to host the Congressional Art Competition, "An Artistic Discovery" to give high school students in the 20th District an opportunity to showcase their artistic talents. Students living in the 20th District attending high school are encouraged to enter the Competition for a chance to have their piece exhibited at our Nation's Capital for an entire year! In addition, the highest scored piece in each of the three counties, Fresno, Kern and Kings will be showcased in the Congressman's California District Offices for an entire year as well. See the bottom of the page for all the details.
Since 1982, An Artistic Discovery has honored the creative talents of thousands of high school students across the nation. Local competitions are voluntarily hosted by Members of Congress in their home districts. In June, the winning artwork is sent to Washington, where it hangs in the Cannon Tunnel to be viewed by the millions of visitors to the Capitol each year. Winners are also invited to the Capitol for a ribbon-cutting ceremony and Congressional reception.
