Your Community Arts Center
The Dahl Arts Center has served as a premier western South Dakota arts center for contemporary visual arts, arts education and performing arts since it opened in October 1974. It is a public facility, gifted to Rapid City by Mr. & Mrs. A.E. Dahl, owned by the City of Rapid City and is managed by the Rapid City Arts Council.
The Dahl houses a flexible use event center, five visual arts galleries, an interactive children's gallery, the Cyclorama Mural of American History, gift shop, classrooms for artists of all ages and abilities and Emerging Artist performing space. This multi-purpose community arts center is used by artists and arts organizations for arts, private and corporate gatherings.
The "new Dahl" opened in January of 2009, almost tripling it's size, after a $7.8 million dollar renovation. $3.25 million dollars of the project was funded by the City's Vision 2012 program, with the remainder raised by the RCAC through generous community and foundation support.
Last year at the Dahl, the Rapid City Arts Council hosted 972 events for arts and community groups, as well as commercial rentals which help offset operations costs.
