Undone is a photographic exhibition by Minot State University artist Ryan Stander that confronts profound and often unseen realities of bodily and health trauma.

This process left an enduring psychological and emotional imprint on Stander. The exhibition consists of wet-plate collodion self-portraits.

What Grows When We Gather
Hopes for the Hills: Black Hills Area Community Foundation
10.09.26 - 01.02.27
Denise Du Broy Gallery & Inez + Milton Shaver Gallery
Artists' Reception: October 9 | 4-6pm

Living Map: What Grows When We Gather, will be created by Rapid City artist Sophia Clarke in response to a “hopes for the hills” call for art sponsored by the Black Hills Area Community Foundation for its 20th Anniversary. The exhibition will be on display in the Denise Du Broy and Inez + Milton Shaver Gallery of the Dahl Arts Center from October 9 to December 26, 2026 with an interactive opening reception on October 9 from 4 to 6pm.
The exhibition is a large-scale interactive installation that invites Black Hills community members to become co-authors within the artwork itself. While exploring a living landscape painted on silk panels, visitors will be invited to consider questions such as “What has created hope for you in this place?” “What will foster hope here for the next twenty years?” “What have you planted here?” and pin their responses to a topographic map of the Black Hills. Over 11 weeks, the map will accumulate with the community’s collective reflections.

Figuratively Speaking
Gene Swallow, Mavis Anderson, and Deb Sterna
12.11.26 - 03.13.27
Ruth Brennan Gallery
​Opening Reception: December 11 | 5-7pm

​This exhibition is primarily a folk art exhibition showcasing dolls and figures created by self-taught artists Gene Swallow, Mavis Anderson, and Deb Sterna. Each of these artists individually transform the familiar concept of a doll into a vehicle of storytelling, memory, identity, and personal expression. Each artist approaches dollmaking from a distinct perspective. Their approach is rooted in lived experiences rather than academic convention. Together, their works celebrate the impulse for artists to create human likeness that reflect our histories and shared humanity.
