Gabbard. “I’m always so impressed by the incredible talent of Hawaii’s young artists, and inspired by the many fine arts educators who encourage our students to participate in activities like this Congressional Art Competition. I look forward to seeing the great pieces that will be submitted this year, and encourage people across Hawaiʻi to join me in supporting all of our talented young artists.”
