A joint program between the Office of the First Lady and the Indiana Arts Commission, the series features the works of contemporary Hoosier artists at the Governor's Residence. The series draws from the collections of various galleries, institutions and organizations around the state. The State Fair artists represent the diversity of talent we have here in Indiana. These works vividly express the rich imagination, craftsmanship and creativity of some truly remarkable Hoosiers. Each year, artists from around the state are invited to enter their works in the annual Fine Arts Competition at the State Fair.
Judges select first through fifth places and honorable mention in most categories.
The works on exhibit at the Governor's Residence consist of prize winners in each category. The exhibit of State Fair winners will run through Nov. 19. Artists featured in this installment are listed on the following page.
