Jordan to attend Congressional Art Competition reception

Congressman Jim Jordan (R-Urbana) will attend a reception tonight at 6 p.m. honoring the winners of the Fourth District of Ohio's 2015 Congressional Art Competition. The annual competition allows aspiring artists in high school to compete for the chance to feature a work of art in the U.S. Capitol.

The reception is being hosted by Director Ellen Keyes of the Gateway Arts Council. It will be held at 216 North Miami Avenue, in Sidney, Ohio. Participating students, family and teachers will attend a reception.

The Congressional Art Competition began in 1982 to provide an opportunity for members of Congress to encourage and recognize the artistic talents of their young constituents. Since then, over 650,000 high school students have been involved with the nationwide competition.
