"It is important that we remain, in state government, committed to inspiring artists and art communities... Art allows you to reflect on the past, express the present and really communicate with the future... it really is, at the end of the day, a vehicle for talking and learning about culture." - Governor Bill Ritter at the presentation of the Art Awards.
