Louie Gohmert (TX-01) hosted a reception to honor the participants and announced the winners of the 2014 Congressional Art Competition on Sunday, December 8, 2013, in Marshall, Texas. He released the following statement regarding the outstanding art pieces submitted this year: \r\n\u201cThis weekend, it was exciting to see all the creativity and skill from the First Congressional District of Texas displayed at the Michelson Museum of Art. Throughout history, art and its expression have always been vital to our culture. Personally, with one of my daughters being an artist, art has played a significant role in my family\u2019s life. Hosting this competition, has allowed me to see the importance of fine art in our children\u2019s lives. After the winning piece is displayed in our great U.S. Capitol, the rest of the nation will also see the amazing talent that the young adults from east Texas possess.\u201d \r\n\u00a0\r\n2014 Congressional Art Winners:\r\nFirst Place: Matthew McGehee \r\nBishop T K Gorman Regional Catholic High School\r\n\u201cRESTING HANDS\u201d\r\n\u00a0\r\nSecond Place: Isabella Walters\r\nHallsville High School\r\n\u201cLOST TREASURE\u201d\r\n\u00a0 \r\nThird Place: Alexandria Woodridge\r\nHallsville High School\r\n\u201cBUFFALO\u201d\r\n\u00a0\r\nHonorable Mention: Claudia McMillan\r\nHenderson High School\r\n\u201cVIBRANT BOVID\u201d\r\n\u00a0\r\nHonorable Mention: Kylie Stinson\r\nGrace Community School\r\n\u201cTINKERBELL AND CAPTAIN HOOK\u201d\r\n\u00a0\r\nHonorable Mention: Rachel Gibson\r\nSpring Hill High School\r\n\u201cUNTITLED\u201d\u00a0 \r\nThe annual competition is open to high school students across the district.
