CALL FOR ART
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUBMISSIONS
The Rapid City Arts Council (RCAC), in partnership with Big Read Rapid City, thanks artists for submitting works for Wayfinder, an exhibition at the Dahl Arts Center that explores the intricate tapestry of human experience. Through this exhibition, artists are encouraged to explore themes of navigation, guidance, and the quest for meaning, weaving their unique perspectives into a shared narrative of wayfinding.
Drawing from Andrew Krivak's novel, The Bear, this exhibition celebrates the resilience of the human spirit, the power of nature as a guide and the universal search for meaning and belonging. Whether capturing moments of striking out in a new direction, guiding others on their paths, or seeking a homecoming, Wayfinder will share your journey with our community. |
Themes
Navigation: Intuition, dreams, and spiritual guidance.
Waypoints: Journeys—both physical and metaphorical, from the mundane to the mythic.
The Crossroads: Critical turning points and choices that shape destinies.
The Horizon: Hope, aspiration, and the unknown future.
We received 130 entries from 57 artists. Selected works will be showcased at the Dahl Arts Center in the Lynda K. Clark + Stan Adelstein Gallery from January 24 - April 26, 2025, with an opening reception and book talk on January 24, 2025.
