Congressman Gary Palmer hosts 6th Congressional District Art Competition
Birmingham, AL – Each spring, high school students from across Alabama’s 6th Congressional District submit their artwork to the annual Congressional Art Competition. Submitted art work will be on display at Hoover’s Riverchase Galleria Mall (lower level near the entrance to Belk and JC Penney) until Monday, May 2.
The winning artist will have his or her work displayed in the U.S. Capitol for one year, and the artist and family members will be invited to attend a reception in Washington D.C. with Congressman Gary Palmer to be recognized for their work, along with the winners from each Congressional District. This year’s competition was judged by local artists Amy Crews, Melanie Morris, and David Nichols.
All artists will be recognized and the winner will be announced at a reception hosted by Congressman Palmer at the Hoover Library on Tuesday, May 3.
“The Congressional Art Competition encourages students to embrace their creative talents and aids in their personal development,” said Congressman Gary Palmer (R-AL). “I look forward to honoring and sharing all of their hard work with our district.”
More than 650,000 high school students have participated in the Congressional Art Competition since it began in 1982.
