Four-day exhibit to feature work from 3rd Congressional District
A competitive art show at UW-La Crosse will feature work by young artists from throughout Wisconsin’s Third Congressional District. The 17th Annual Congressional Art Competition, “An Artistic Discovery,” runs in the University Art Gallery Wednesday, April 3, through Saturday, April 6. The gallery is on the first floor of the Center for the Arts. The exhibit is a culmination of art submitted for the annual contest that recognizes artwork by high school students in the Third Congressional District. A winning entry will be sent to Washington, D.C., to represent the district in a display at the U.S. Capitol. The winning student artist, along with a parent or guardian, will be invited to attend the opening ceremony for "An Artistic Discovery" in Washington, D.C. The highlight of the exhibit will be a reception from 1:30-3 p.m. Saturday with Rep. Ron Kind recognizing student participants and handing out awards. Regular gallery hours are noon-8 p.m. Wednesday and Thursday, and noon-5 p.m. Friday and Saturday. Admission is free.
