Traveling Exhibitions

The Unchosen Ones

County Fairs have become the venue where both city and farm folk come together, exchange ideas, exhibit their best wares, and engage in friendly competitions. Central to these fairs are livestock competitions. More than 3,200 fairs are held in North America each year. The Unchosen Ones, an exhibition of photographs by R.J. Kern, begins on the sidelines of county fair animal contests in Minnesota in 2016. These county fairs lead up to the Minnesota State Fair, one of the largest and best-attended expositions in the world.

Working America

In the photography exhibition Working America, artist Sam Comen presents American immigrants and first-generation Americans at work in the small, skilled trades as icons of the American experience. The subjects share stories of economic independence and struggle, belonging and exclusion, faith and fear, and service to both community and family.
