Lieutenant Governor's Art Council

Founded in 1997, the Lieutenant Governor's Art Council encourages the promotion and advancement of Washington state artists.  The council is chaired by the Lt. Governor's wife, Linda Owen.  Quarterly exhibits are based on subject themes and often incorporate a variety of art mediums.

On display through August, 2009  is a display of 10 photgraphs by Olympia photographer Aaron Barna.  The photos depict the music and pageantry of the Jan. 14 Governor's Inaugural Ball. They include an informal portrait of its catering crew, and candid scenes of Governor Christine Gregoire and her guests conversing and dancing in the corridors of the Capitol.
