Join us for the opening of a Farm Aid exhibit with remarks by curator Dan Gilbert, live music by New Souls, and local refreshments. The exhibit honors the 1985 concert that drew 80,000 fans to Memorial Stadium and launched Farm Aid, a movement still supporting sustainable, just U.S. agriculture. Its artist–activist model remains a powerful song of solidarity.
