The Minnesota State Fair comes to Mia! In August, a special panel of judges, made up of Mia’s curators and leadership, head to the fair with a mission—to carefully select and judge crop art shown at the Great Minnesota Get-Together. The winners are awarded “Best in Show,” and their pieces are exhibited at Mia for a limited time in September among our other cultural masterpieces.
