20 artists to be part of hospital’s Community Tapestry

RAPID CITY, S.D. (Dec. 2, 2020) – More than 100 artists submitted art for Dale Lamphere’s Community Tapestry project at Monument Health Rapid City Hospital. Dale and the Monument Health Art Committee have narrowed the list to 20 pieces.

It was not an easy task, Dale said. Artists submitted an impressive variety of paintings, drawings, beadwork, wood, glass, metal and mixed media. A lot of really good art didn’t fit into the overall mix of media and message that will comprise the final tapestry, he said.

The final piece will feature metal diamonds arranged in a 16-foot-wide by 32-foot-tall space. Twenty of the diamonds will showcase the work of artists from the Black Hills and western South Dakota. Community Tapestry will be installed this spring.
