Went for a school assignment and wish I visited earlier. I used to go a lot as a kid during summer, but now that I have to drive myself places I slacked on going to the Dahl.Will be going again!

I am excited about the Dahl - it is becoming a first rate community art center! We have needed a welcoming community art center and it is wonderful to interact with the staff, the executive director is dynamic, engaging and energetic. We recently held a community workshop at the Dahl and were met with enthusiastic engaging staff, who were helpful, fun and made everyone feel very welcomed! Thank you for making our community a more engaging place to live and thrive!

Incredible experience! We brought 56 people for a 6th grade field trip from Oklahoma. Everyone was so accommodating for our tour, we learned so much about each piece, and the art was absolutely stunning! Must see in Rapid City!

What a gem! After we moved to RC I discovered that my grandkids had not been to visit; I soon remedied that! We all loved the various exhibits, the children's playroom that was very hands-on. I love that local artists are featured. The admission is free but I always made sure the kids had a couple dollars to contribute to my own donation when we left. I wanted them to know that this great place is a gift to the community and they should always support it. We used to go each time the exhibits changed and the kids loved talking about the different kinds of art: paintings, sculpture, fine crafting and other kinds of art. The gift shop is a wonderful place to purchase wonderfully creative gifts for friends. Think Hostess Gifts!! There is plenty of parking. The Dahl is a treasure.

The exhibits currently on display are really interesting! The building is clean and the exhibits are nicely organized as usual. We love coming every so often when the exhibits change. Some of the pieces are for sale and it is always fun browsing the latest items in the gift shop as well.

We loved the art work that we saw, but most striking was the amazing mural that went 360 around one of the rooms. WOW!

One the best findings in my trips crossing the country, great SD artists and even better art pieces from Native American Artists. The galleries are well designed and curated with great detail to show Native American Art from different parts in the country. The staff is great very informative and friendly. They ship the art that they sale quickly and they are very accommodating. If you are in Rapid City make time to visit this great place.

The mural room by Bernard Thomas is truly amazing! Finished in the mid-1970s, the mural was commissioned by a local banker (A.E. Dahl). The fantastic details are rendered in spectacular fashion.The mural has become controversial by some in the arts community, who profess perfect vision. Some have even called for defacing the mural because some scene offends their sensibilities. Art is not supposed to be a sedative! It is supposed to engage people. I hope that someone who is truly upset will raise money to tell their viewpoint. In fact, I hope many people do exactly that. We need more are, NOT more censorship.

It is in disrepair exhibits don't work very snoody atmosphere the attendant was more interested in facebook on her phone and the bowl of soop than doing her job ; in response to your response I would hope that a facility maintained by the Rapid City Arts Council this publicly funded by tax dollars would be a little more attentive to their exhibits that aren't working properly and from what the attendant told me it hasn't been working properly for a while
