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.
Students submit entries to their representative’s office, and panels of district artists select the winning entries. Winners are recognized both in their district and at an annual awards ceremony in Washington, DC. The winning works are displayed for one year at the U.S. Capitol.
Special congratulations to the LP Artists that placed in the 2024 competition:
2nd Place: Agata Siwinska, Grade 12
3rd Place: Ashley Ramirez, Grade 10
Shout-out to Agata for her 3-peat Congressional Art wins! Her entry from last year is currently displayed in Congress! 1st Place last year 2023, 2nd Place this year and in 2022!
