We regret that the Dahl Arts Center is currently closed to the public due to COVID-19.
Check back for updates.
Hello. This is Robert Joyce, Executive Director of the Rapid City Arts Council and Dahl Arts Center.
I wanted to let you all know how we plan to continue to remain in contact with you, our community, and those who love art and education, while we share in the common emergency that has befallen nearly every part of our globe.
First, I want to say that I hope you are safe and well. Our primary importance is that our staff is safe, our stakeholders and those in our community are safe also. This upheaval has required us to make the unprecedented decision to close our doors to the public indefinitely. And I’m sure you are also experiencing similar circumstances with your church, your school and even perhaps workplace.
It is very odd to walk through an empty building, empty classrooms and galleries with lights shut off and devoid of the beauty that they hold. This building is not meant for such quiet and dark times.
There are so many people within the Dahl who we are also concerned about. The artists who exhibit art in the galleries and gift shop; our events and patrons who had to have weddings, baby showers, receptions, meetings and other special gatherings cancelled here at the Dahl; those groups who rent office space and carry out their jobs here at the Dahl; our teachers and attendees of classes, camps and our very dedicated Open Pottery Studio artists who have had to postpone their work; all have had to adjust to the COVID-19 pandemic that is so immediate and important in all our lives.
But we wanted to let you know that our thoughts and concerns are with you, our members, our donors and our friends. We hope and pray for some normalcy to help everyone cope with our new world situation through the arts.
In the meantime, we are going to provide some opportunities for you to engage with the Dahl Arts Center “virtually.” The staff is putting together a series of videos—museum tours, art tours, educational classes and projects for kids, teens and adults. We may be also able to feature some special events from other organizations and museums throughout the world to share with you. We may be isolated from each other, but we can still share in the gifts that art provide through this technology.
Click here for a list of our class offerings, art tutorial videos and Dahl tours. And come back often as this list will grow quickly as the staff adds information, links and other resources for you to explore while we practice social distancing and isolation.
It is at times like this, we turn to art, to comfort our hearts and souls and to help us understand ourselves and our world around us. So until you can do so in person, come to the Dahl “virtually” and stay connected with the Rapid City Arts Council.
Feel free to reach us anytime with suggestions and comments at contact@thedahl.org.
Yours sincerely,
Robert Joyce
Executive Director
