OPENING SEPT 30:

“Artists of the Prairie: Dreams and Memories – 2^nd Biennial Collaborative Art Show” Lamont Gallery (September 30 to November 25) 

This second biennial art show, titled “Artists of the Prairie: Dreams and Memories” will be displayed in Dacotah Prairie Museum’s Lamont Gallery from Saturday, September 30 to Saturday, November 25, 2023.  It is a collaborative exhibit with entries by artists from South Dakota, North Dakota and Minnesota, who were chosen for participation in the show though an application process. The Artists of the Prairie Exhibition was held for the first time in Fall 2021.  Museum exhibits staff are pleased to announce that the number of participants has grown from 35 artists two years ago to just over 50 artists featured this year, with all three states represented, and many who are local to the Aberdeen area.  The 2023 theme for submitted artworks is “Dreams and Memories”.  Individuals with ties to the prairie (who are current or past residents of the tri-state area) are united in this display of vibrancy and creativity which is not to be missed! An ARTIST OPEN HOUSE DAY will be held Saturday, November 4, 2023 during regular museum hours. 

NOW OPEN:

“Dacotah Prairie Museum: 50 Years & Growing…” 50^th anniversary display now on exhibit. A commissioned model of the DPM building was handcrafted by Randy Pfutzenreuter and is on display. Exhibition cabinets will address the different areas of museum activities; collections, education and exhibits along with telling the stories of our museum beginning and history.  Life size standees of founders “speak” to tell their stories. On display are rare artifacts such as the Harvey Dunn painting “Leave the Past Behind”, a watercolor print by Oscar Howe “Ghost Dancer”, Native American artifacts, and other significant Brown County history items. This exhibit is an interesting, informative, and fun experience for everyone! Thanks to 3M for their 2020 grant monies for this project.
