Engineering, science, and art are not mutually exclusive. In fact, the
creative process is essential for scientists and engineers who wish to push the
boundaries of their disciplines. This is part of the impetus behind the new
interactive art show, “You Are Welcome,”
at South Dakota School of Mines & Technology’s
APEX Gallery.
The participatory art making experience, now underway, asks viewers to take
an active role in the curatorial process, connecting with fellow viewers
through artistic collaboration and creativity. Guided by written prompts, the
exhibit will grow and change over time, resulting in a series of works that
highlight our human inter-connectedness as well as our ability to think
creatively.
The community is invited to exercise their own creativity by taking part. Please
join us for following events which are free and open to the public:
- Studio discussion/work day: Tuesday, Nov. 13: 4 p.m.

- Studio discussion/work day: Thursday, Nov. 15:
