The Minnesota State Fair is here! Each year, the American Craft Council is proud to give an award to an entry in the Fine Arts category that exemplifies craft. This year, ACC is pleased to give the special recognition to Iah Q’s The Past Holds Me, a stunning work of beadwork on leather.
Though there were many works on view worthy of recognition, we feel Iah Q’s piece demonstrates excellence in craft and showcases the beauty and craftsmanship of this particular art form.
Congratulations to Iah Q! If you’re heading to the Great Minnesota Get-Together, be sure to keep an eye out for this piece in the Fine Arts building.
State fairs are a uniquely American summer tradition.
