U.S. Rep. Steve Womack announced Wednesday, April 8, that Berryville High School junior Keily Diaz had won the 2026 Congressional Art Competition for Arkansas’ Third Congressional District.
Keily’s artwork, titled “Paciencia y Fe,” will be displayed in the U.S. Capitol for one year.
“Congratulations to Keily Diaz on winning the 2026 Congressional Art Competition,” Womack said. “Keily’s strong artistic skills are on full display in how she has painted her grandmother with exceptional technique and precision. This piece will soon be displayed in the U.S. Capitol for the next year, giving hundreds of visitors each day the opportunity to view the high caliber of talent we have in the Third District. I am remarkably proud of each student who participated in this year’s competition, and I look forward to seeing their continued artistic growth.”
This year’s competition featured 62 pieces of art created by students attending 11 high schools and homeschools in the Third District. Entries were reviewed by a panel of local judges, including Bentonville Public Library director Hadi Dudley, curatorial assistant for contemporary art at Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art Jaiha Lee, and Ken Francis, a retired art teacher at Siloam Springs High School.
This is the 16th year Womack has hosted the Congressional Art Competition in the Third District. This nationwide contest is held annually to recognize and encourage artistic talent across the United States and in each congressional district.
