Each year, the U.S. House of Representatives hosts An Artistic Discovery: Congressional Art Competition for High School Students, which takes place in each congressional district with each first-place winner having their artwork on display in the U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C., for about one year. Because of his support for young artists in the 4th congressional district of Kansas, Rep. Estes also hosted an art exhibit in the district to display and celebrate the talent of all of the participants. This year, the 4th Congressional District had 168 entries from 116 students representing 17 high schools in six different counties.\n\n\"This year's Congressional Art Competition contained many exceptional pieces from a talented group of young artists,\" said Rep. Estes. \"Jacob's mixed media painting, 'The Bouquet,' will represent Kansas well alongside art from across the country on display in the U.S. Capitol.\"\n\nThe winner, Jacob Espinoza, a Wichita High School East student, received a cash prize courtesy of Marc and Erin Mason. Second and third place winners also received cash prizes courtesy of Craig and Dalene Nelson. Twelve other students received Honorable Mentions, and two People's Choice winners tied after voting ended at Saturday's reception.\n\nThe jury consisted of Jim Clements, oil painter; Ann Hathaway, line artist; Chloe Lang, gallery & program director, Mark Arts; and Steve Rasmussen, photographer.\n\n2022 Congressional Art Competition \u2013 Final Results\n\n1st Place \u2013 Jacob Espinoza, \"The Bouquet,\" Mixed Media, Wichita High School East\n\n2nd Place \u2013 Haley Wyckoff, \"Hands of a Fisherman,\" Pencil, Arkansas City High School\n\n3rd Place \u2013 Taylor Sutton, \"Danica's Cow,\" Painting, Flinthills High School\n\nHonorable Mentions:\n\nMadeleine Albert, \"Deceitful Guidance,\" Mixed Media, Wichita Collegiate School\n\nMadeleine Albert, \"Disentanglement,\" Mixed Media, Wichita Collegiate School\n\nLily Conrad, \"Phoenix,\" Painting, Wichita Collegiate School\n\nKayla Estrada, \"Confined,\" Pencil, Arkansas City High School\n\nMolly Ha, \"Paro,\" Digital, Wichita High School East\n\nRaegan Lefevre, \"Portrait of a Young Woman,\" Photograph, Goddard High School\n\nIsabelle Maida, \"Lecture,\" Painting, Wichita High School East\n\nJocelyn Moran-Puentes, \"Morning Night,\" Mixed Media, Wichita High School West\n\nEllie Schulte, \"Linked for Life,\" Photograph, Wichita Collegiate School\n\nAddison Smith, \"Gas Station,\" Colored Pencil, Andover Central High School\n\nHannah Wiebe, \"Record Player,\" Marker, Goddard High School\n\nCorissa Wiles, \"Still Moments,\" Photograph, Goddard High School\n\nPeople's Choice (as determined by votes during the April 23 awards reception):\n\nBrooklyn Hicks, \"You did it!,\" Mixed Media, Wichita Northeast Magnet High School\n\nKelsey Smith, \"Overgrown,\" Colored Pencil, Smith's Homeschool\n\nDownload photos of winning artwork here.\n\nDownload photos from the reception here.", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-08T02:19:30Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://estes.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=3480"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.7869480177760124, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
