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 facility underwent renovation and expansion in 2008 and now includes three galleries, a children's interactive gallery, mural, 250-seat flexible event center, children's and adult art classroom, including a conference room and meeting spaces.

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, Dahl Music Series, Banff Film Festival, other activities.
