Experience the Congressional Art Competition exhibit.
The Congressional Art Competition is an annual event in which the first-place winners from each state have the opportunity to have their art showcased in the Capitol Rotunda in Washington, DC. Each spring, the Congressional Institute sponsors a nationwide high school visual art competition to recognize and encourage artistic talent in the nation and each congressional district. Since the Artistic Discovery competition began in 1982, more than 650,000 high school students have participated.
The submissions for the state of Nebraska will be hung at the KANEKO throughout the month of May.
Students submit entries to their representative’s office, and panels of district artists select the winning entries. Winners are recognized both in their district and at an annual awards ceremony in Washington, DC. The winning works from each state are displayed for one year at the U.S. Capitol.
Masks are recommended when visiting or attending an event at KANEKO.

What Does Donation-Based Mean?
Donation-based doesn’t mean our camps are free, it means that we want to make sure children from all income levels can attend camps. You pay what you can.
Our suggested donation for a week of camp is $200, so if you can afford to pay that, please do, you’ll be making it easier for us to provide camp to more kids. If you cannot afford the suggested donation, don’t worry, you have other amounts you can donate, including nothing but a $1 registration fee.
If you’re lucky enough to be able to afford to sponsor a child for a week of KANEKO camp, you can do that too- you will find that option during registration.
CAMP OVERVIEW
Camps are held Monday – Friday from 9AM – 4PM
Lunch and snacks are provided and we will make every effort to have lunch in our outdoor spaces. If your camper has any dietary restrictions, please let us know after you register by emailing katherine@thekaneko.org.
Camp t-shirts will be provided for each camper- you will be prompted to provide a size when you register.
Phone-Free Environment: Our goal is to provide all campers with a summer camp experience that is filled with unique opportunities and is distraction-free. All camper’s phones will be checked in at the beginning of the camp day. Short period of phone time will be allowed, but we aim to have a phone-free environment. Campers are always accessible to families through the KANEKO phones.
