Green said, “Katie Ann submitted an outstanding piece of art, and it is an honor to recognize her special talent and creative ability in the 2020 Congressional Art Competition.”
Each spring, a nationwide high school arts competition is sponsored by Members of the U.S. House of Representatives. The Congressional Art Competition began in 1982 to provide an opportunity for Members of Congress to encourage and recognize the artistic talents of their young constituents. Since then, over 650,000 high school students have been involved with the nationwide competition.
