Congratulations to our talented Art students!
Out of more than 200 entries submitted to NSU from across and around the state, five of our students earned spots in the Top 50 — with a special shoutout to Adelynn Ihnen, who placed in the Top 6 and received a cash prize for her outstanding work! You can visit the NSU Art Department on Facebook to look at all the photos as well as watch the awards ceremony.
We’re so proud of their creativity and dedication.
Here are a few snapshots from yesterday’s art workshops and our visit to the Dakota Prairie Museum, a free and fascinating museum located just off Main Street in Aberdeen.
