Vergennes Union High School senior Ashley Cray won a  Congressman Welch’s Choice award at the 38th Annual Congressional Art Competition ceremony held recently at Vermont College of Fine Arts in Montpelier.
Cray, a Ferrisburgh resident, is a student at Vergennes Union High School. Her photograph “Left and Right” was selected from a field of 157 entries from students representing 36 high schools across Vermont.
“I am amazed by the creativity of talented young artists across Vermont,” Rep. Welch said. “Picking a winner is always difficult. Congratulations to Ashley for her beautiful work. She clearly has a bright future in the arts.”
