Congressman McEachin Announces Winner of 2017 Art Competition

RICHMOND – Congressman A. Donald McEachin (VA-04) awarded Jada Epps first place in the 2017 Art Competition.

Epps’ winning watercolor painting, “The Melting Pot … What ‘Other’ Means” will represent the 4th Congressional District on display in the Capitol for one year. Epps, a student at Surry County High School, is invited to join the Congressman for a celebratory reception in Washinton D.C. on June 29th.

“I knew we had talented young students in our congressional district and that was confirmed with the submissions we received this year. I look forward to seeing Jada’s watercolor painting everyday in the Capitol, representing our congressional district,” said Congressman Donald McEachin (VA-04).

Each spring, a nation-wide high school arts competition is sponsored by the Members of the U.S. House of Representatives. This winning piece of art will join those selected other participating districts from around the country in an exhibit in Washington.
