“Vivan’s piece exemplifies what Michigan is all about and showcases the talent that can be seen in every region of our state,” said Governor Whitmer. “I am so excited that her art will be a part of our State of the State address. Together, we will keep telling Michigan’s story and getting things done that make a real difference in people’s lives. Thank you, Vivian! I hope you enjoy the Cherry Republic treats.”
The art contest challenged K-12 students across Michigan to come up with a creative design for the 2024 State of the State program cover following the theme, “A Classic Michigan Story.” Students were encouraged to be as creative as possible and were welcome to use crayon, marker, paint, or any other material.

Her proposals will lower costs, continue record investments in education from preschool to college, expand access to safe and affordable homes for Michigan families, keep protecting our seniors, boost our state’s economy to new heights, and so much more.
The 2024 State of the State address will be held in the Michigan House Chambers and broadcast live throughout the state on Wednesday, January 24 at 7:00PM.
