Jon Offutt: Dakota Horizons
The landscapes of North Dakota are, to borrow a term, legendary. They stretch far and wide, embracing brilliant sunsets over miles of rolling hills, and have been ingrained in the state’s consciousness to the point of being captured on the State Seal.

Island Park Ramp Installation – MARIA FRIBERG: ATLANTER

Friberg’s work opens our awareness to the many possibilities of representing masculinity.
