WASHINGTON, D.C. – The 2022 Congressional Art Competition winners' submissions are now on display. Congresswoman Michelle Fischbach (MN-07) met Minnesota's 7th District winner, William, when he and his family came to see the display and tour the Capitol.

“Congratulations to this year’s winner, William, from Hutchinson High School. I had the privilege of meeting William and his family when they came to see his work, Faces, hung at the Capitol. I'm very excited his eye-catching piece will be on display for the next year so it can be seen by thousands of visitors, tourists, staff, and distinguished Members of Congress,” said Congresswoman Fischbach. “Thank you to those who participated in the competition. We received many wonderful submissions from talented students across the district, and I am looking forward to participating again next year."
