Giant portraits celebrating American farmers and ranchers will be on display during Dakotafest and the Corn Palace Festival next week in Mitchell, South Dakota.
Invest in Our Land Executive Director and Aberdeen, SD, area native Rebecca Bartels says the images will become part of what’s being called “the largest participatory art project in the world.”
Bartels says getting the photos from farmers and ranchers has been interesting.
Bartels says producers can have their photo added to the collection by stopping by Invest in Our Land’s space at Dakotafest.
The portraits will hang at the Corn Palace from Aug. 19-22, then they’ll be moved to Washington, D.C..
Dakotafest is Aug. 19-21, 2025, and the Corn Palace Festival is Aug. 20-24, 2025, again, both in Mitchell, SD.
