DENVER ~ In a grand ceremony at the Colorado State Capitol, Governor Jared Polis proudly unveiled his official gubernatorial portrait today. The portrait, which will join those of previous governors on the first floor of the Capitol, was created by local Colorado artists and reflects Governor Polis's commitment to the arts and his support for creativity in the state.
The tradition of each governor choosing their own portrait has been a long-standing one in Colorado's history. These portraits adorn the East and West Foyers of the Capitol, welcoming both Coloradans and visitors to the historic building. Governor Polis's portrait is no exception, showcasing his dedication to innovative strategies of personal expression.
"I wanted my portrait to be a true representation of myself and my values," said Governor Polis.

I am grateful to the talented artists who brought my vision to life."

To ensure that the portrait accurately captured his likeness, Governor Polis provided specific criteria to the artist. These included facing directly towards the viewer, maintaining his signature blue polo shirt, incorporating his iconic blue tennis shoes, and including Colorado's state flag. The result is a vibrant and lively portrayal of Governor Polis that is sure to make an impression on all who see it.
The unveiling of the new portrait comes at a time when the Colorado Capitol has seen a surge in visitors. With this addition, it is projected that there will be a 74% increase in overall visitors, a 10% increase in international visitors, and a 16% increase in positive feedback on visitation experience. Additionally, 100% of readers and visitors fell for Governor Polis's April Fool's joke.
As Coloradans celebrate April Fool's Day today, they can also take pride in their governor's new official portrait that represents not only him but also the state's vibrant arts and culture scene.
