Earlville Opera House News
(Earlville, NY- May 2014) Here are the exciting results! The Earlville Opera House organized the 2014 Congressional Art Competition, An Artistic Discovery for Madison County on behalf of Congressman Richard Hanna’s office.
Invitations were sent to 10 schools. EOH received 73 submissions from four schools: Hamilton Central High, Morrisville-Eaton High, Oneida High and Sherburne-Earlville High School.
This is the first year that Madison County schools were represented in this national contest.
We’d like to thank our Madison County judges for generously donating their time to assess the entries. Lynette Stephenson is an associate professor of art and art history at Colgate University. Leigh Yardley is an adjunct instructor of art at Morrisville State College and a teaching artist for the Utica Arts in Education Institute.
Medal winners from Madison County – alphabetically by school – were:
