Congressman Joe Morelle announced that Greece Athena High School student Talia Favitta is the winner of the 2024 Congressional Art Competition.
“Each year I am deeply impressed by the exceptional talent of our community’s students,” said Congressman Joe Morelle. “Talia Favitta’s art is captivating, and I am proud to see her represent Monroe County here in the halls of our nation’s Capitol.”
“Talia is an exceptional talent and I’m so lucky to have had the pleasure of being her teacher this past school year for Studio Art,” said Sarah Vigoren, Art Teacher at Greece Athena High School. “Her body of work is infused with creativity and experimentation with a high level of craftsmanship. It has been exciting to see her skill level growing every single day.”
Talia’s piece, entitled Full Moon, will fly to Washington, D.C. where the Congressional Institute will honor her work alongside participating Congressional districts from across the Country. Her artwork will be displayed in the United States Capitol for an entire year and featured on the official Congressional Art Competition website.
For the past 42 years, the annual Congressional Art Competition has showcased our country’s artistic talent and provided an opportunity for the art community here in Rochester to be represented on a national stage.
