About this Event

A portrait of Dolly Parton rendered in seeds, crazy quilts, and the world's fanciest corn dog holder all star in the Renwick Gallery's latest show about the creative products made for U.S. state fairs. This free tour will talk about the rise of these regional celebrations as well as the crafts they inspire. After the tour, you'll have the option to join the group for lunch downtown.
