Art Show Judge!

I was asked to judge an art show this weekend at the University of Iowa. Congressman Dave Loebsack hosted an art contest for high school students. This year marks the 25^th anniversary of the Congressional Arts Competition, sponsored by the Congressional Arts Caucus. The 2007 exhibition, entitled “An Artistic Discovery,” will feature exceptional artwork from all 435 congressional districts. “An Artistic Discovery” was created in an effort to recognize the creative talents of young Americans. It was great to see art from so many different schools. I must say the photography was most impressive! Here is the link to the article in the press citizen newspaper where they quoted me- let's just say I do not like how reporters always make you sound ridiculous!
