Each spring, the Congressional Institute sponsors a nationwide high school visual art competition to recognize and encourage artistic talent in the nation and in each congressional district. Since the Artistic Discovery competition began in 1982, more than 650,000 high school students have participated.
Special congratulations to Elena Davletshina, who won 2nd place! She will have her painting displayed in Representative Mike Quigley's Washington, DC office for the next year! This is her painting, "The Glow of Winter Past".
