Recognize Master Craftsman Greg Harkins as recipient of the 2026 Governor's Arts Award for Excellence in Traditional Craft.

This is a ceremonial Senate Resolution (SR 13), not a legislative bill with policy changes. It formally recognizes Master Chairmaker Greg Harkins of Thomastown, Mississippi, as the recipient of the 2026 Governor's Arts Award for Excellence in Traditional Craft. The resolution celebrates his 50-year career creating heirloom furniture, his national/international recognition (including chairs gifted to six U.S. Presidents and Pope John Paul II), and his role as a cultural ambassador for Mississippi. As a purely symbolic gesture, it does not create new laws or affect any policies.
