Art in the Office
Beginning on the day of her inauguration, Lieutenant Governor Lawton transformed the wall space of the beautifully renovated Office of the Lieutenant Governor into a special gallery exhibition space for Wisconsin artists. She welcomes all capitol visitors to stop by and get a sense of the extraordinary artwork being produced by talented artists in every part of our state.
Lieutenant Governor Lawton opens each new show inviting the public to a reception for the artist(s). Exhibits may showcase the work of an individual artist or gather works from multiple artists, organized around a single theme or idea or particular region of the state.
Lieutenant Governor Lawton’s prominent gallery is emblematic of her work as Chair of the Wisconsin State Arts Board. The Board today provides unique leadership to engage both public and private sectors in a shared agenda to establish Wisconsin’s stronghold in the creative economy, building the arts and culture industry as a powerful sector in itself and as the animating force for growth in communities across the state.
