The Dahl Arts Center was constructed to house the Cyclorama, a 200 ft. mural of American History with special narration and lighting.  The original center included two art galleries, classroom space for arts education, and a 156-seat theater. The main structure is currently undergoing renovation and operations have to the adjacent facility at the corner of 7the & Kansas City Street. Once the renovation is complete and the new events center constructed in between, the Dahl Arts Center will be one single building. 

Our galleries house temporary exhibitions and sales, and the Dahl stores and periodically shows over 120 pieces of art in its permanent collection of works by regional artists.  Artists from the area, region and nation are invited to participate in group and solo artist exhibitions.  The schedule also includes national touring exhibitions.  School and visitor tours of the Gallery and the Center are conducted throughout the year by volunteers and staff. 

Services to arts organizations and artists are available, as well as professional development workshops, assistance with grants and cooperative marketing.

Arts education classes and workshops, as well as special events, theater and musical performances are held year round at the arts center.  Annually, more than 60,000 people visit the Dahl or take part in community arts outreach events such as the Black Hills Bluegrass Festival, Music in the Park, Dahl Music Series, Banff Film Festival, Children's Theatre Series at the Civic Center and other activities.
