FRANKFORT, Ky. (FOX 56) — On Thursday, Gov. Beshear, First Lady Britainy Beshear, and Lieutenant Gov. Jacqueline Coleman welcomed some special guests during a Team Kentucky update.
Humberto Lahera González and Kentucky Derby Festival President Matt Gibson met with state leaders to unveil the poster for the 2025 Governor's Derby Celebration.
Lahera is a beloved artist in the Cuban and American art worlds alike, engaging diverse audiences through public work to inspire the next generation of artists, celebration organizers said.
The poster, titled 'Unleashed at the Finish,' captures the dynamic energy and challenges of the Kentucky Derby, according to a press release. Lahera was also given the honor of artist for the Woodford Reserve bottle for the 151st Derby.

'Being selected as the artist for the Governor's Derby Celebration poster is one of the greatest honors I have ever received. This project represents my contribution to Kentucky, combining artistic techniques I learned in the land where I was born with new techniques I've developed in the United States,' said Lahera. 'Leaving my artistic mark brings me great satisfaction, especially knowing that I've only been living in America for two years and yet I'm already becoming part of its legacy, history, and tradition. I can only express my gratitude to everyone, especially Gov. Beshear, for believing in my art.'
The 151st Kentucky Derby will be held on May 3 at Churchill Downs in Louisville. The 2025 Governor's Derby Celebration Poster is available for purchase, along with those of previous years, at the Historic Properties Online Store.
