"AN ARTISTIC DISCOVERY":
THE 21ST CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT EXHIBITION AWARD

This is a National Exhibition of Award-Winning Works of Art by High School students. It celebrates the creative talents of young Americans throughout the country. This exhibit is the culmination of "An Artistic Discovery", the Annual Congressional Art Competition conducted by members of the U.S. House of Representatives in their Congressional Districts. This is the twenty-third year of the competition. The 21st Congressional District Arts Competition is sponsored by Congressman Michael R. McNulty's Office. The Congressional District comprises all of Albany and Schenectady Counties, most of Montgomery and Rensselaer Counties, and the Town of Waterford in Saratoga County. Artwork is selected from each school district which is representative of the highest achievement. The selected artwork is juried and one work is chosen to represent the entire Congressional District. The winning artwork is displayed in the Holland Tunnel of the U.S. Capitol for one year.
