“Congratulations to Camryn Battaglia, our winner of this year’s Congressional Art Competition for her piece, ‘Concord,'” Langworthy said. “I thought her artwork truly represents NY-23 since we are home to the largest Concord grape belt in the U.S. and I’m pleased that it is representing our district in the Capitol. My office received numerous outstanding entries, showcasing the incredible talent of our high school students in Western New York and the Southern Tier. Thank you to all who submitted artwork, and a special thank you to the faculty of St. Bonaventure University’s Regina A. Quick Center for the Arts for lending their expertise and judging this competition.”
