The Commonwealth of Massachusetts welcomes Massachusetts artists working in all disciplines- visual arts, literary, performing, crafts, new media, etc. – to the State House  to thank them for all they contribute to our state’s economy and quality of life. Massachusetts is the only state in the country to have such an event!

This year’s honorees are Lisa Simmons, Greg Liakos, Blair Benjamin, Kay Bourne and Abe Rybeck.

The day will include remarks from legislators and other state officials and a chance for you to discuss your concerns with your representatives, a networking lunch and more.
