Saturday Art Adventure
Jan 10, 17, 24, 31 | ​1-2:30pm

During January's Saturday Art Adventure, families will explore various 3D artworks in the gallery. Then, using paper and origami techniques, they will create 3D art of their own. Each week, families will make new pieces of origami art like bunnies, dogs, and cats.

Saturday Art Adventure at the Dahl Arts Center is free to attend, thanks to our donors and "Friends of the Dahl," whose annual membership donations support arts and cultural programs year-round.

The purpose of the Rapid City Arts Council (RCAC) is to champion the power of art to bring all kinds of people together, making art more accessible, more integral and more inspiring for the communities we serve.​ RCAC was established by community leaders in 1968 and officially partnered with the city in 1974 to manage the Dahl Arts Center and expand arts and cultural resources. RCAC creates and supports diverse programming in exhibitions, performances, and educational classes. Supported by individual donors and organizations such as the Black Hills Area Community Foundation, John T. Vucurevich Foundation, the South Dakota Arts Council through the South Dakota Department of Tourism and the National Endowment for the Arts, and others, RCAC is committed to enriching the community's artistic and cultural experiences.
