The fine arts department of the Minnesota State Fair presents an annual exhibition that is the result of a juried competition. Participation is open to all living residents of Minnesota, and each may submit one work for consideration.

But! Only the works selected by the jurors are displayed in the
Fine Arts Center during the exhibition.

In 2023, a total of 2,650 pieces were submitted and only 332 were accepted.

Like the Salon des Refusés of 1863 in Paris, the Argyle Zebra Gallery invites the ‘rejects’ of the Minnesota State Fair fine arts exhibition to display their rejected submission and put the authority of judgement back in the hands of their community.

Gallery Hours: Saturdays & Sundays: 10am-4pm

Information: REJECTED! — ARGYLE ZEBRA GALLERY (theazgallery.org)
