7/30 Radio Gallery: Art at the Fair
For most competitors, blue ribbons at the county fair lead to entries and visits to St. Paul for the Minnesota State Fair. But in the fine arts there is one state-wide juried competition to enter and compete at the state fair. Any Minnesotan is eligible to enter one piece of art to compete at the state fair. In 2013 over 1800 works were submitted to the jury, with 340 pieces making the cut. So when you head to the fair this year - remember there's more than pigs and all you can drink milk. There's art too.
Radio Gallery airs Wednesdays at 4pm and Fridays at 7:45am and is brought to you by:
With funding provided by The Minnesota Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund
