50 Years of Local Art History in One CatalogIn honor of celebrating the 50th Anniversary of the Dahl Arts Center, the Rapid City Arts Council (RCAC) is releasing a comprehensive catalog of the artworks residing in the Dahl Arts Center’s permanent collection. Showcasing over 300 works, this catalog will serve as a visual anthology of the artworks that have been thoughtfully purchased or generously gifted.
This catalog is more than an inventory of selected artworks. We invite you on a journey to explore 5 decades of the region’s artistic history. Each page will tell a story of a creator, from the bold brush strokes of pioneering local artists to the nuanced works of contemporary creators who continue to push artistic boundaries. Featuring a wide array of mediums, styles and subjects, this collection reflects the dynamic and inclusive nature of our artistic community. |
