NORTHPORT-Congressman Robert Aderholt
Congressman Robert Aderholt – Alabama District 4 (R)
today welcomed more than 175 entries from talented student artists to this year’s 4th Congressional District art competition at Northport City Hall in Northport, AL.
“Every year our judges have a tough time deciding which pieces of artwork should recieve top honors and with over 175 entries this year was especially challenging for them,” said Aderholt. “Each of the pieces here today exhibit the incredible talent and creativity of the students in the 4th Congressional District. Whether they place in competition or not, I am happy to see these students apply themeselves in this way. 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, including events such as an opening reception and ribbon cutting ceremony.
Awards were also presented in the categories of: painting, drawing, collages, prints, mixed media, computer graphics and photography.
Aderholt currently serves as Chairman of the Subcommittee on Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration and Related Agencies for the House Appropriations Committee, is a member of the Committee’s Commerce, Justice and Science; and Homeland Security Subcommittees, and also serves on the Helsinki Commission.
