Birmingham, AL – Congressman Gary Palmer (AL-06) announced Casey Bates, a student at Hewitt Trussville High School, as the winner of the Sixth District 2023 Congressional Art Competition.
“Alabama’s Sixth District is full of talented students who love to create art that displays their passions and interests,” Rep. Palmer said. “Congratulations to Casey on winning the art competition this year. I hope she continues to use her talent to create more great works of art in the future.”
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. Students submit entries to their representative’s office, and panels of district artists select the winning entries. The winners’ works will be displayed for one year in the U.S. Capitol. This year, a virtual gallery of all entries from the Sixth District can be viewed on Congressman Palmer’s website and Facebook page. The winning artwork, “Pulled Away” by Casey Bates, is featured at the top of the online gallery.
