This event will feature many community stakeholders and leaders as we conduct a SWOT analysis on the Midway in breakout sessions. Join us as we work on this important issue- the future of the Midway.
Prior to our conversation, we will hear from Minnesota DEED Commissioner Steve Grove; Concordia University’s Dr. Bruce Corrie; and the Neighborhood Development Center’s Mike Temali.

2022 Minnesota State Fair Official Commemorative Art by Leslie Barlow is Unveiled!
“I wanted the piece to feel cosmic and out of this world, as well as to communicate the energy, excitement and joy that the fair brings me. The fair often feels otherworldly, especially near the midway, with all the sounds, laughter, bright lights and activity. I wanted my work to represent that. ... This color palette is kind of new for me. It relies heavily on pink and green, because I was going for a youthful, sci-fi energy. ... What you also see are the neon lights from the midway reflected in the faces, communicating how bright and lively the fair is at night."
- Artist Leslie Barlow
Commemorative art posters currently are for sale for $20 (includes shipping and handling) from StateFairWear.com. Limited-edition, signed prints are available for $100 from the Minnesota State Fair Foundation. Proceeds from sales support the Minnesota State Fair Foundation.
