The Happy Place Project: VT Lawmakers in Portrait by Rebecca Silbernagel

To those who have seen the show and have taken time during adjournment chaos to compliment the work: Thank you!!! If you haven’t seen it - it’s way better when seen in person (with coffee and an egg sandwich from the cafeteria) - you can view the show on my photography website at: https://www.rebeccasilbernagelphoto.com/The-Happy-Place-Project/The-Happy-Place-Project--Part-2-
The show will be up in the Vermont State House cafeteria through the end of the month. The State House is open M-F, 8-4. Admission is free and open to everyone.

The second installment of the Happy Place Project hung in the Vermont State House during May, 2022.
