Congrats to this year’s winners of the Congressional Art Competition!
It was amazing to see the incredible talent of our VA-11 high school artists.
I urge all of the students who participated, and those who didn’t, to continue pursuing and celebrating art.
Free people make art, and art makes people free.

Happy Pi Day! While 3/14 relates to the mathematical constant π -the ratio of a circle’s circumference to its diameter- it's also Albert Einstein's birthday. A memorial to the physicist stands just across Constitution Ave & shows him sitting on an (of course!) circular platform.

3D scanning technology is being used to examine and replicate classic works of art. It's raising some ethical questions about what it means to preserve authenticity and democratize access in an age when the line between originals and copies grows ever thinner.
