WASHINGTON, D.C. – In the wake of being named winner of the 2017 Congressional Art Competition, Greene Central High School student Claire Nolan was treated to a trip to visit Congresswoman Claudia Tenney's Washington, D.C. office on Monday, June 29.
Nolan's winning piece – titled “Fire in the Three Realms” – now adorns a wall in the U.S. Capitol Building where it will remain for the next year.
“I was delighted to welcome the 2017 winner, Claire Nolan, and her family to Washington, D.C. [on June 29] to see her artwork prominently hanging in the hallway of the U.S. Capitol Building,” said Congresswoman Tenney. “Our office would like to thank all of the talented students across the 22nd [Congressional] District who submitted their artwork. We received so many wonderful pieces – all of which highlighted the hard work, dedication, and creativeness of these students.”
It's reported in a media release from Tenney's office that Nolan's artwork caught the eye of the judges and was subsequently deemed “thought-provoking,” and that the piece's color “is used beautifully both to unify the work and to represent the nature of [Nolan's] intent.”
The Congressional Art Competition has been held every spring since 1982 to showcase talented art students from across the country. It's reported that upwards of 85 pieces of artwork were submitted from across the 22nd Congressional District for consideration.
The judges who ultimately chose Nolan's piece as prime are listed as follows: Frank Cittadino, Professor at Utica College, Todd Behrendt, Associate Dean Department of Art at Mohawk Valley Community College, Mary Ianno, Professor at SUNY Polytechnic Institute, Richard Henry, Adjunct Instructor at SUNY Broome, Azuka Nzegua, Managing Director of Africa House Gallery, Janet Erway, Executive Director of the Cooperstown Art Association and The Smithy.
Nolan's winning piece will be displayed for the next year alongside the other winning entries from congressional districts across the nation.
