Barlow’s memory of the carnival game prize is depicted like an Easter egg in her artwork for the 2022 Minnesota State Fair commemorative art, revealed Thursday at the State Fairgrounds. A team of staff at the State Fair chose the 32-year-old from Minneapolis to create artwork that will be turned into posters available for purchase at the fair and online. A limited edition of 100 prints signed by Barlow will also be available for purchase.

Barlow’s commemorative oil painting depicts a group of her friends frozen in time, like a candy-colored nighttime snapshot of youthful exuberance at the fair. At the center, a stuffed animal sits on one of her friend’s shoulders.
