This is the panoramic view of the four quilts commissioned by the Wisconsin Arts Foundation to be awarded to this year's recipients of the Governor's Awards in Support of the Arts, held at the Governor's Mansion November 30, 2006. This is the first time a fiber artist has been chosen to prepare the awards.

      The idea behind this four panel series is to show a panorama of the Wisconsin Scenery as it changes through the four seasons. Each panel can stand on its own, just as each of the award recipients worked on their own to support the arts. But together the panels, and the award recipients, make a much richer arts environment in Wisconsin.

      Congratulations to the 2006 recipients:

    • The Boldt Family: Oscar C. and Patricia Boldt; Thomas J. and Renee Boldt. (Appleton)
    • Ken and Diane Hendricks (Beloit)
    • Chippewa Valley Cultural Organization/Heyde Center for the Arts (Chippewa Falls)
    • Wisconsin Energy Corporation: Gale Klappa, President and CEO (Milwaukee)
