                    in the house of representatives

                       Friday, September 24, 2021

  Mr. SMUCKER. Madam Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Poiema 
Visual Arts as it celebrates its grand opening on this day, September 
24, 2021.
  With roots in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, Poiema Visual Arts is 
an organization which seeks to foster values such as discipleship and 
friendship among Christian visual artists across Pennsylvania. 
Lancaster County is home to a burgeoning arts community, with many 
artists, craftsmen, and others finding it an ideal place from which to 
hone their craft and exhibit their work. Poiema Visual Arts will be a 
welcome addition to that community.
  Art is often thought of as a universal language which can bring 
together people from all walks of life. We hope Poiema Visual Arts can 
do just that and unite people across Pennsylvania's Eleventh District 
and beyond.
  We wish Poiema Visual Arts all the best and eagerly wait to see what 
the future has in store.
