A SALUTE TO THE ARTISTIC DISCOVERY WINNERS OF OHIO'S 11TH CONGRESSIONAL 
                                DISTRICT

                                 ______


                           HON. LOUIS STOKES

                                of ohio

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, May 17, 1994

  Mr. STOKES. Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to be among the Members of 
Congress who have hosted the Artistic Discovery art competition 
throughout their congressional district. The Artistic Discovery contest 
not only allows high school students to showcase their artistic 
ability, but this nationwide art competition also grants Members the 
opportunity to recognize the creativity of American high school 
students. This year more than 300 entries representing 13 high schools 
were received from my district. Of those entries, I can proudly say 
that each piece of art work reflects tremendous artistic talent and 
ability.
  Recently, participants in, and supporters of, Artistic Discovery 
assembled at the Cleveland Heights City Hall, for an awards ceremony 
and reception honoring this year's participants. This served as a 
culmination to the Salute to Young Artists week-long celebration in 
recognition of the young artists in Ohio's 11th District.
  Mr. Speaker, this year's competition proved to be an intense one. In 
the end, William Hernandez, a senior at the Cleveland School of the 
Arts was selected as the winner. William's innovative scratchboard and 
ink piece, entitled ``We Will Overcome'' will become part of the mosaic 
of culturally diverse art work from students nationwide on display in 
the Capitol.
  I join my colleagues in looking forward to the official opening of 
Artistic Discovery on June 28, 1994. I appreciate the dedication and 
effort of the principals and art instructors in schools throughout the 
11th District. I also thank the Artistic Discovery judges as well as 
Cleveland Heights mayor, Carol Edwards and her staff for accommodating 
us at City Hall during the Salute to Young Artists.
  Mr. Speaker, the walls of the Capitol are about to be adorned with an 
array of diverse paintings, representing the creative spirit of our 
youth, and making the walls of the Capitol more beautiful. I am pleased 
to have joined with my colleagues in participating in such a worthwhile 
event, and would once again like to thank the participants and 
supporters who helped to make this event successful.
