The artistic talents of St. Olaf College faculty and students are on display at this year's Great Minnesota Get-Together.

The artwork of three St. Olaf faculty members is featured in a special exhibit celebrating the 100th anniversary of fine arts at the Minnesota State Fair. The exhibit, titled Marking Time: Looking Back at Minnesota Artists and the Juried Exhibition, includes the work of Professor of Art Wendell Arneson, Associate Professor of Art Ron Gallas, and Professor Emerita of Art Jan Shoger. All three have made significant contributions to art in Minnesota.

Another St. Olaf artist featured at the fair is Alexandra Burniece '13, a studio art major who took second place in the watercolor class of the Minnesota State Fair Fine Arts Exhibition.

The state fair runs through Labor Day.
