6th District Congressional Art Show Goes Virtual

BEVERLY — Montserrat College of Art will host the Sixth District Congressional High School Art Show and Competition for Congressman Seth Moulton in a virtual format this year. The winning work will be viewable on the College’s website for a year, and an awards ceremony with the Congressman will be held on April 10 at 3:30 pm. A link will be sent to all participants to view the ceremony.

Students in grades 10-12 in public and private high schools, and those who are home-schooled, are invited to submit their work using the form on this page. A tutorial for students on how to document their work for submission was recorded by Nathan Lewis, director of exhibitions and public programs at Montserrat Galleries. It is available at this link here.

This marks the 27th year of this national federal program which is held in Congressional Districts across the United States each spring.

This year, photographs of student work are due on March 21. Jurying will be held and the winners will be announced to the high schools in early April, with the awards ceremony taking place virtually on April 10. The winning work and honorable mentions from each high school will be mailed a citation from Congressman Moulton and varying levels of scholarship to Montserrat’s Summer Pre-College Program this July. The work of the grand prize winner will be sent to Washington DC where it will hang in the Capitol Building for one year along with the winners from other Congressional Districts. An awards ceremony will be held in June in the Capitol if it is safe to do so.
