DSU’s Behrends’ artwork added to state’s permanent collection

A Dakota State University Assistant Professor has artwork that has been accepted for the South Dakota Art for State Buildings program through the South Dakota Arts Council. 

Angela Behrends’ artwork “Buffaloed” will become a part of the state’s collection and be on permanent display in one of South Dakota’s state buildings.

“Buffaloed” is a buffalo head made of steel wire with bison horn caps, and was initially a part of the South Dakota Governor’s 8th Biennial Art Exhibition.  Behrends was an invited artist, with her work automatically accepted for the exhibition.

The piece traveled across the state, spending time in the South Dakota Art Museum, Dahl Arts Center, Washington Pavilion Visual Arts Center, and John A. Day Gallery in 2019 and 2020.
