Fragmented Freedom by Magnus Weber
Congratulations to Magnus Weber for receiving first place in the Congressional Art Competition for his ink drawing titled Fragmented Freedom! Magnus drew this piece during the Regional Art Wars Competition in Rapid City in February. He was given the prompt “Fragmented.” He was given 1 ½ hours to complete it. Fragmented Freedom will be exhibited, along with the pieces from all of the US Congressional Districts in the Cannon Tunnel of the US Capitol! Magnus will be invited to attend a reception at the capital in Pierre to receive an award given by Dusty Johnson. This is the second time a TF Riggs student has won first place in the Congressional Art Competition.
