Zoetic Spaces

The Ruth and Seymour Landfield Atrium   

The Zoetic Spaces exhibition combines works from Plains Art Museum’s permanent collection, Hannaher’s Inc. Print Studio education collection, and works from around the area to create an environment to celebrate our shared existence. Humans experience life through a variety of perspectives. It involves artists and images that are able to break the molds we often feel held to. The bringing together of these works, as well as the conversations that we can have around them, are meant to remind us of the place that a museum can be within a community, creating space for all to be who they wish to be.

We bring this art together to remind us that humans are beautiful and complex and choose to live their lives in nuanced and outstanding ways.

Plains Art Museum thanks our generous PlainsArt4All members and donors, and our Organizational Partners for their support. Additional support provided by The McKnight Foundation, Bush Foundation, The Arts Partnership, The FUNd at Plains Art Museum, and the North Dakota Council on the Arts, which receives funds from the North Dakota Legislature and the National Endowment for the Arts.
