While many visitors to the New York State Fair focus on the excitement and explosiveness of the midway, concerts and sideshows, there’s much to be said for some of the quieter exhibits, like the annual art exhibition located on the second floor of the Art and Home Center. 
Paintings, drawings, photos and sculptures are on display throughout the makeshift gallery, some displaying the ribbons won after judging of the show is completed.
While the Fair itself is a frequent subject of the artists, there’s plenty of portraits, wildlife depictions, still lifes and abstracts among the wide variety of pieces on display.
It’s a great spot to escape a rainy day, but weather aside, it’s a not-to-be-missed State Fair staple. Admission is free, of course.
