As racial inequities have risen to the forefront of conversations in the past few months, a hole has been carved out for artists to join the conversation as well.
The Plains Art Museum is known for being a community place. With free general admission and a central location, the museum has become what some call a "third place." People have their workplace, their home place and then they need their third place, an extra spot in
the community that feels safe, welcoming and comfortable. In a community as creative and art-literate as Fargo is, it only makes sense for that"third place" spot to be an art museum. With this understood delegation as a safe, welcoming community spot, the Plains Art Museum wanted to further extend its reach. Opening at the end of July was "BE, EXIST," an exhibit dedicated to the conversation and support of our BIPOC communities.
