July 8 from 6 to 8pm at the Hjemkomst Center – Opening of The Unchosen Ones and presentation on the History of Agricultural Photography by R. J. Kerns – Free
A color photography exhibit by Minnesota photographer R. J. Kerns, captures the spirit and dignity of the children and the animals who compete in livestock competitions and do not win. Loveably Minnesotan, the exhibit was created from portraits taken at 10 Minnesota county fairs, including Clay County’s. The exhibit consists of 20 43” X 53” prints in wood frames and 8 framed 14” x 17” silver gelatin prints from wet plate collodion tintypes. This unique collection of vibrant images will be shown at the Hjemkomst Center July 8 through September 30, 2025.
