"Portraits of My Mind" - Melissa Holcomb
May 3 - June 3
Opening Reception: Friday, May 6th - 5:30 - 7:30 PM
"Portrait photography is something I have always loved. I enjoy admiring pictures and wondering who the people are and the lives they lead. One picture can have the ability to tell a story or send your mind racing, allowing you to use your imagination and build a story of your own. Portraits of My Mind is my gift to you of stories through pictures. Each one can represent a different tale, just let your mind wander."

13th District Congressional Student Art Competition

High School Art Students from the 13th Congressional District present their very best work in this annual competition. Show winners receive thousands of dollars in scholarships from SCAD and Atlanta Art Institute.
Congress created the Congressional Art Competition in 1982 as a way to showcase the artistic talents of young people throughout the country. The top three winners of the local competition win over $15,000 in scholarships to Savannah College of Art & Design and the Atlanta Art Institute. In addition to receiving a scholarship, the first place winner is invited to attend an awards ceremony in Washington, D.C. and will have his or her artwork displayed for one year in the Cannon Tunnel leading to the U.S. Capitol.
The Arts Clayton Gallery is honored to be Congressman David Scott's choice of partner for his 9th annual 13th District Congressional Student Art Competition. Again, this year, art teachers from around the 13th Congressional District submitted their students' best artwork for consideration. We are thrilled to provide the students with the professional experience of displaying their work at the Arts Clayton Gallery, and provide the public the chance to both see and appreciate the talent in our community.
