The Fine Arts Center at the Minnesota State Fair features Minnesota’s largest juried art exhibition. This year, Operation Metro Surge resistance was a resounding theme of the art submitted. The building showcases more than 300 of the pieces of artwork selected from thousands entered. The exhibit had a 10% acceptance rate in 2026. Stop by the building for the rest of the fair from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. (8 p.m. close on Labor Day).
