6th District Congressional High School Art Competition in March
High school art students in grades 10-12 welcome to submit work through their teachers.
BEVERLY – Montserrat College of Art will once again host the Sixth Congressional District Congressional Art Show and Competition for Congressman Seth Moulton at its 301 Cabot Street Gallery, March 12-17. A closing reception and award ceremony will be held from 3:30-5 pm on Saturday, March 17 and the public is welcome.
This competition is open to high school students, grades 10-12, from public and private schools and home-schooled students from the 6th District of Massachusetts. Students should submit their art teachers at their high schools. This marks the 24th year that Montserrat has hosted this competition. Last year’s exhibit included 148 pieces from 30 different public and private high schools and home-schooled students from the 6th District.
Each winner will be presented with a citation from Congressman Moulton and varying levels of scholarships to Montserrat’s Summer Pre-College Program. The grand prize winning piece will be sent to Washington, DC where it will hang in the Capitol building for one year along with winners from other Congressional districts across the country. A ceremony to congratulate all the winners will be held in Washington, DC in June.
