First Place - If These Halls Could Talk: JFK Creative Portraits

Sep 2021 - June 2022

The Hall of States, Kennedy Center, Washington, D.C.

“To reflect on the legacy of John F. Kennedy, young artists (ages 14–26) from across the United States were invited to submit an all-original, creative portrait of the Center’s namesake. This creative art competition asked the artists to use one of President Kennedy’s ideals of Service, Justice, Freedom, Courage, and Gratitude as inspiration for their portrait of JFK.

The entries were judged by a panel of art experts on level of skill, expression of creativity, and reflection of President Kennedy’s legacy and ideals. The two winning portraits, by Mary McClure and Jinglin Jingan, were chosen by a team of Kennedy Center representatives and awarded a $500 prize. They will be displayed, along with eight Honorable Mentions, in the Hall of States and the REACH from September 2021 through June 2022.”
