2018 Congressional Art Competition

 

Each spring, the Congressional Institute sponsors a nationwide high school visual art competition to recognize and encourage artistic talent in each congressional district of our nation. I'd like to congratulate Wyatt Williams, a sophomore at Reno’s McQueen High School, for winning first place in this year’s Congressional Art Competition. Wyatt’s photo, entitled: Valley of Colors, beautifully showcases Bowers Mansion in the fall. He describes his work as the mansion resting “in the historical Washoe Valley”. Wyatt's work will be displayed in the U.S. Capitol for one year and he will also have the opportunity to travel to Washington to attend a congratulatory ceremony with the winners of other congressional districts. 

 

I’m incredibly proud of all the talented young artists from CD-2 that participated in last year’s competition, and I strongly encourage all interested high school students to participate next year.
