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 competition began in 1982, more than 650,000 high school students have participated. This year’s art competition was held on Friday, May 10th, at the Morton H.Meyerson Symphony Center. Art students from the Dallas area had their submissions critiqued by a panel of judges from area colleges and the South Dallas Cultural Center.
