“The Congressional Art Competition is a wonderful opportunity to showcase the incredible talent of students from Western Pennsylvania,” Rothfus, whose 12th District includes the Ambridge area, said in a news release.
“Last year’s entries demonstrated the creativity and originality of our young artists. I encourage all high school students to submit their favorite work, and I look forward to hanging the winning piece for all to appreciate in the Capitol building.”
