U.S. Rep. Robert Wexler, D-District 19, will sponsor a reception today at 4 p.m. to showcase submissions for the 2008 Congressional Arts Competition. It will be held in the Gallery Center at 608 Banyan Trail in Boca Raton.

Judges of the artwork will be Elaine Baker of the Elaine Baker Gallery, Linda Boone from the Habitat Gallery and Lisa Fiorello from the Karen Lynne Gallery.
