Brett Shinsky participated in the annual Congressional Art Contest. One piece of art created by a high school student is selected from every Congressional District across the country and displayed in Congress. Mr. Shinsky’s “Confusion” is hung on the wall in the nation’s Capitol in the Cannon Tunnel. The artwork on display provides inspiration to Capitol visitors and Members of Congress as they make their way to the House floor. An estimated 12,000 people will see the exhibit each day for the next year. Congressman Ruppersberger established a panel of qualified judges from Maryland’s art community to choose a piece worthy of such an honor.
