Schoenblum Art Selected for

Washington Congressional Art Gallery

 

 

This past weekend, Kevin Schoenblum was awarded first place in the Congressional Art Contest for our congressional district.  The award includes a $10,000 scholarship to the Art Institute of Atlanta, a $3000 scholarship to SCAD, and two first class tickets to a Congressional reception in Washington, DC, to be held in mid June.  At the Congressional reception, he will meet Representative Tom Price, who chose his entry as the winner, and the piece entitled "Hugin and Munin" will hang in the Congressional Art Gallery for the next year. Kevin’s same piece of art won "Best in Show" at the Georgia State Fair this year and First Place in the Fair's theme category. This piece of Kevin's art was inspired by a simple suggestion his art teacher, Mr. Riggins, gave to him to investigate, research and interpret. Congratulations to both Kevin and Mr. Riggins.
