Arts in the Capitol 2009 season begins

The 2009 Arts in the Capitol program is off to a successful start with the Dennis Pinette "Expansion of Logic" exhibition. On loan from the CMCA, the show has been well received by the State legislators and the press. We assume the public appreciates it as well, but we do not have accurate feedback structures to gauge that.

In addition to the Dennis Pinette exhibition we are exhibiting a beautiful painting by Samuel Gelber in the Appropriations Room. The piece is titled "Summer" and is one in a series of the four piece "Four Seasons" collection.
