The Governor's Capitol Art Exhibition (GCAE) is a captivating biennial exhibit showcasing the incredible talent of Wyoming artists. Established in 2000 by Governor Geringer, this juried exhibit is a collaborative effort between the Wyoming State Museum and the Wyoming Arts Council. This year, GCAE takes on special significance as it becomes a vibrant part of Wyoming's celebration of America's 250th anniversary! Artists are invited to submit their best work, capturing the awe-inspiring beauty of Wyoming's landscapes, the lively spirit of its communities, and the remarkable people who proudly call this great state home. This exhibition is the primary avenue for the state museum to acquire contemporary Wyoming art for its Capitol and permanent collections. The art for the Capitol collection is selected by the State’s five elected officials and representatives from other state agencies, while the museum’s curators select purchase awards for the Museum’s permanent art collection. For art lovers everywhere, all other artwork in the exhibition is available for sale to the general public, offering a unique opportunity to own a piece of Wyoming's artistic heritage.
