Rejected 2023

Rejected 2023

AZ Gallery presents their annual show of artwork rejected from the Minnesota State Fair.

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 2022, a total of 2,227 pieces were submitted and only 338 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. 

Check out the AZ Gallery website for participating artists.
