3rd Annual Minnesota State Fair Reject Show

Now in its third year, the exhibition celebrates the remarkable depth of artistic talent throughout Minnesota and offers another opportunity for artists and audiences to connect with work that deserves to be seen.

The Opening Reception will be held Saturday, August 29 from 3–7 PM at Douglas Flanders & Associates Gallery, 5025 France Ave S, Minneapolis, MN 55410. The reception is free and open to the public.

The Minnesota State Fair Reject Show has quickly become a much-anticipated DF&A tradition — a lively, inclusive exhibition highlighting the creativity, range and individuality of Minnesota artists. Visitors are invited to discover new work, meet participating artists and support hundreds of Minnesota artists whose work reflects the extraordinary range of creativity found throughout the state.

Visitors will also be invited to vote for their favorite artwork throughout the exhibition, with the winning artist receiving the 2026 People's Choice Award.
