Art Contest a Capitol Idea

Each spring, the Congressional Institute sponsors a nationwide high school visual art competition to recognize and encourage artistic talent in the nation and in each congressional district. Since the Artistic Discovery competition began in 1982, more than 650,000 high school students have participated.

Students submit entries to their representative’s office, and panels of district artists select the winning entries. Winners are recognized both in their district and at an annual awards ceremony in Washington, DC. The winning works are displayed for one year at the U.S. Capitol.

Here locally, the Congressional Art Competition is open to all high school

Experience Playable Art in Vancouver

Can You Find the Keys to the City?

So, I’ve played a piano before, but how do you play art? I’ve always thought pianos were beautiful, and I have to admit, I never really considered them “Art”…until now.

Vancouver’s School of Piano Technology for the Blind is bringing beautiful playable art to a public space near you. Kim J. Capeloto, president of the School’s Board of Directors, today announced “Keys to the City,” a ten day citywide music/arts program featuring ten pianos in local gathering spots around Vancouver August 17-26, 2012.

For the project, students from the School are preparing and tuning ten pianos and turning them over to local artists. Each artist will personalize the piano and create a beautifully decorated piece of art. Upon completion, the pianos will be placed in some of Vancouver’s most popular public places and gathering spots for a ten day celebration of music. The pianos will be available for everyone to play from very beginners to virtuosos.

As soon as they become available, piano locations and pictures will be available on the School of Piano Technology for the Blind website; fans may also vote for their favorite decorated piano. At the conclusion of the event, the pianos will be donated to local non-profit agencies.
