Congressman John Tierney

Representing the 6th District of MASSACHUSETTS

Congressional Art Competition

Each year, Congressman Tierney hosts the Sixth Congressional District High School Art Competition and Exhibition. The exhibition is a juried art show, open to high school students from public and private schools within the Sixth Congressional District of Massachusetts, as well as high school students home-schooled within the district. We encourage students from every school to participate in this exhibition.

The exhibition will be displayed publicly and will culminate in a closing awards event. The Grand Award Winner will receive a scholarship to Montserrat College of Art's pre-college summer program, and the U.S. Postal Service will provide students with the option of having their artwork displayed at their local post office. At the conclusion of the exhibition, the artwork of the winner will be sent to the U.S. Capitol Building where it will be displayed for one year with the work of other district award winners from across the country. The Grand Award Winner, accompanied by one adult, will be invited to attend the opening of that exhibition in Washington, D.C. The winner will also receive two roundtrip tickets to Washington, D.C. to support his/her attendance at the opening of the national exhibition.
