The annual fine arts exhibition at the Minnesota State Fair presents incredible artistic creations that were selected for display as the result of a juried competition.

To enter the fine arts competition, exhibitors must be living residents of Minnesota and each may submit one piece of art for consideration.

Each piece is judged in a jury process and only those works selected by the jurors are displayed at the Minnesota State Fair.

This year, in the photography division, there were 1023 submissions and 115 were chosen.

The Minnesota State Fair runs from Aug 21 - Sept 1, 2025.
