Aderholt Hosts 4th Congressional District Art Competition
Jasper, AL— Congressman Robert Aderholt (AL-04) today welcomed more than 150 talented student artists to this year’s Fourth Congressional District art competition, which was held at Bankhead House and Heritage Center in Jasper.
“Every year our judges have a tough time deciding which pieces of art should get top honors and this year was no different,” said Aderholt. “Each of the pieces here today exhibit the superb talent of the students in the 4th Congressional District. Whether they place in the competition or not, I am happy to see our students apply themselves to this endeavor. We have seen some truly impressive art today.”
The ‘Best of Show’ winner’s artwork will be displayed for one year in the Capitol as part of an exhibit entitled “An Artistic Discovery.” The winner will also be invited to the national exhibit opening in Washington, DC, this summer, and received a trip to the opening reception and ribbon cutting ceremony.
Awards were also presented in the categories of: paintings, drawings, collages, prints, mixed media, computer graphics and photography.
Aderholt currently serves as Chairman of the Subcommittee on Homeland Security for the powerful House Appropriations Committee, is a member of the Committee’s Commerce, Justice and Science; and Agriculture Subcommittees, and also serves on the Helsinki Commission.
