The 2015 Governor’s Gallery

June 26, 2015

A few months back, I was asked to view over one hundred pieces of art created by Texas students from all across the state. Viewing the art was easy and fun! But then came the hard part…picking a dozen or so pieces to hang in the Governor’s Business Office in the Capitol for a year. This yearly tradition, called The Governor’s Gallery, was established by First Lady Laura Bush during her husband’s tenure as Governor of Texas, and is coordinated by the Texas Art Education Association.

This afternoon I hosted a reception at the Capitol to unveil the Gallery. I had a wonderful time getting to meet these talented young Texans, their families, and their art teachers. Congratulations to all of you!
