Art Display: 1 W Wilson State Office Building

"Sicily", Floor 1 Display Cabinet "Sicily", Floor 1 Display Cabinet, DHS Employee

 

On display at 1 West Wilson Street you will find photos captured using kite cameras, oil paintings, watercolors, as well as, artifacts and recipes representing foods from various nations, countries and territories around the world. 

These exhibits will be on display December 2011 through February 2012. 

The artists are dedicated and take great pride in their artwork. Some of the things that the artists have to say are: "I helped my father when allowed to and watched carefully." "My youthful fascination soon turned into a lifelong love of art." 

The exhibit also includes a Celebration through Cultural Diversity Food Sharing event that was held in January by the Department of Health Services employees. In addition to sharing food from all around the world, employees raised over $250 in cash donations and half a barrel of food that will go towards helping those in need!
