                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, October 21, 2015

  Mr. YOUNG of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and 
congratulate the Corning Center for the Fine Arts (CCFA) as they 
celebrate their 10th anniversary bringing art and culture to southwest 
Iowa.
  CCFA, housed in a renovated and repurposed building in Corning, 
opened its doors on Sept 30, 2005. Its studio and gallery were modeled 
to create an attractive environment for its artist in residence program 
and has two renovated apartments above for those artists. Since 2006, 
the art center has been home to 16 artists that have come from the 
United States and abroad. CCFA also holds annual student art shows to 
encourage young people to explore their talents.
  Mr. Speaker, it is an honor to represent the Corning Center for the 
Fine Arts and its hard working employees and volunteers in the United 
States Congress. I ask my colleagues in the United States House of 
Representatives to join me in congratulating them on their 10th 
anniversary and wishing them nothing but continued success.
