Vote on Your Favorite Salon 300 Pieces

Getting into the State Fair Fine Arts show is no easy feat. Judges last year chose just 413 works from the 2,330 works submitted.

But that’s a lot of good work left out. That’s why the will bring several hundred of those pieces before a new audience at its Eighth-Annual Salon 300: Minnesota State Fair Overflow Show—and this year, Hopkins Patch is sponsoring a prize for the two works that you judge the best.

Hopkins artists and Fawzia Khan will pick 10 finalists from among the works displayed in the show. Hopkins Patch will announce those finalists at the opening reception, which takes place from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. Saturday.

People will be able to visit Hopkins Patch and vote on their favorite works once the finalists are announced. When the Salon 300 exhibition concludes Sept. 4, Patch will tally the votes and award the winner and runner-up gift certificates to a local art supply store.

Full details will be posted on Hopkins Patch once the opening reception begins. Check out the exhibition and then log on to tell us your favorites.

Look forward to hearing from you!
