Attention #CA26 High School Artists! 🧑🎨 Each year, I encourage talented young artists in grades 9-12 throughout #VenturaCounty and the Conejo Valley to participate in the Congressional Art Competition. This is an excellent opportunity to showcase our students’ creativity and talents. The winning artwork will be displayed in the U.S. Capitol for a year, with the first-place winner and a guardian flown to DC for the exhibit unveiling! The deadline to submit artwork for 2024 Congressional Art Competition is Wednesday, May 1! For more information, visit🎨 juliabrownley.house.gov/services/art-c…
Oh great, another Congressional Art Competition, where a bunch of privileged high schoolers from Ventura County can show off their fancy art skills and pretend like they're making a difference in the world. 🙄 Because you know, when there's so much actual shit going on in the country, like poverty, racism, and climate change, what we really need is more pretty paintings to distract us from reality. 🙄 And let's not forget that the winning artwork gets displayed in the U.S. Capitol for a whole year, because that's definitely the best use of government resources and taxpayer money. It's not like there are more pressing issues that Congress could be addressing, like healthcare or education or income inequality.
