Lynch opens art competition for area HS students

Congressman Stephen F. Lynch has announced the opening of “An Artistic Discovery,” the 2014 Congressional Art Competition. This annual competition is open to all high school students who reside in the 8th Congressional District, which includes the town of Canton.

The winner will have his or her work displayed in the U.S. Capitol for a full year. Additionally, there will be a reception in Washington, D.C., for all art competition winners and their families to celebrate the opening of the exhibit.

To highlight the talent of art students in the 8th Congressional District, the artwork of all students who enter the competition will be displayed in Lynch’s Boston office.

All entries must be received by Thursday, April 24. Entries should be sent to the congressman’s Boston District Office and put to the attention of Araba Adjei-Koranteng. The mailing address is 88 Black Falcon Avenue, Suite 340, Boston, MA 02210. For more information, call 617-428-2000 or visit lynch.house.gov.

“I hope that every high school student with a passion for art takes part in this exciting competition,” said Lynch. “Last year, we had dozens of outstanding entries, and I am proud to have the artwork of last year’s winner, Isabelle Xu of Westwood, representing our district in Washington. I look forward to viewing all of this year’s submissions and displaying one of them in the U.S. Capitol this summer.”
