Preparation + opportunity = success

That's the DSU equation. We're a four-year university with nationally recognized programs, cutting-edge facilities, and the brightest thinkers. But we're also a tight-knit, inclusive community. Small class sizes mean hands-on training and individualized attention. All this with an affordable, public school price that's among the best values in the region.

DSU Faculty featured in Governor’s Art Exhibition

August 23, 2016

The South Dakota Governor’s 7th Biennial Art Exhibition opened Friday, Aug. 19 at the Dahl Arts Center in Rapid City, S.D., with three Dakota State University faculty members’ artwork included in the exhibit. All of the DSU artists are within the College of Arts and Sciences and include Jeff Ballard, Angela Behrends and Alan Montgomery.

This year, Behrends’ artwork, titled “Land,” is included within the 51 works selected out of the 360 total entries submitted for the juried exhibit. For Behrends’, this isn’t the first time she’s had artwork in the Governor’s Exhibit. Last year, her piece titled “Will,” created in 2014 with ceramic, tobacco stain, nails and beeswax, was selected for the 6th biennial exhibit. “Will” was purchased by the Rapid City Arts Council for their permanent collection and was used to promote the 7th biennial at the Dahl Arts Center.
