Congressional Art Competition
Every spring, Congressman Moulton launches a district-wide Congressional Art Competition hosted by Montserrat College of Art to discover and celebrate talented high school artists and their work. High school students from throughout the Sixth Congressional District are invited to participate and exceptions may be made for schools that have 7th through 12th grades on one campus.
This year's exhibit included 100 pieces from 25 different public and private high schools within the 6th District of Massachusetts, as well as home-schooled students. The exhibition was judged by artist and art educator Elyse Kotakis, artist and designer Brian Murphy, and Montserrat Director of Galleries Nathan Lewis
Congratulations to this year's winners of the 2020 Congressional Art Competition!
