Bosque School senior Miquela represented New Mexico's First Congressional District in Washington, D.C. as a winner in the 2024 Congressional Art Competition!

Each spring, the Congressional Institute hosts a nationwide high school visual art competition aimed at recognizing and encouraging artistic talent across the country and within each congressional district. Since it started in 1982, the Artistic Discovery competition has seen participation from over 650,000 high school students.

Students submit their artwork to their local representative’s office, where panels of district artists select the winners. These winners are honored both in their home districts and at an annual awards ceremony held in Washington, DC. 

This June, Miquela attended the awards ceremony, which was a celebration with all of the winners. Her winning photograph, "Flight in Blue," will be displayed in the Cannon Tunnel of the U.S. Capitol for one year. Congratulations, Miquela!
