Art Installation Ribbon Cutting

The ribbon cutting for the art installation will be August 19, 2021 at 4pm at the SW corner of the Bismarck Events Center, followed by a reception at the Capital Gallery in downtown Bismarck. Three regional artists were selected to create pieces for this project: Keely Perkins, Angie Swiec Kambeitz, and Lacie Van Orman.
The art installation project was formed by the 2020 Leadership Bismarck-Manadan program who worked together with Growing BisMan, Dakota West Arts Council, Capital City Christmas and the Bismarck Event Center.

The Bulletin runs between programs on our streaming platforms and cable channels throughout the day and offers a prominent space to announce your organization’s current and upcoming events, news, or other messaging needs.
You can also include a high-quality graphic (e.g. a logo or photo) or even a video file for use in your announcement.
