The Fine Arts Department of the Minnesota State Fair presents an annual art 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. Only those works selected by the jurors are displayed in the Fine Arts Center during the State Fair. In 2010 nine judges, including several museum curators, picked the 413 pieces on display -- paintings, photos, sculpture and six other categories including jewelry, a new genre -- from 2,157 entries. Among the artists selected were Deb Connelly from Danvers with a watercolor and Phyllis Joos of Hancock with an etching.
