In collaboration with the Maryland State Arts Council and the Maryland State Department of Education, Maryland’s First Lady Yumi Hogan opened the First Lady’s Gallery, which is located in the House of Delegates Office Building in Annapolis, the state capitol. The gallery’s inaugural show features a selection of student artwork from more than 20 Maryland school systems and will run through November 13. The student art program will continue with future showcases every fall and spring.

First Lady Hogan herself is an artist and teaches at the Maryland Institute College of Art. She is an active supporter of the arts and strongly advocates for arts programs in schools across Maryland.
