Starting this week, Spearfish will see a few Linking Fences projects start to appear. We are excited to highlight a few of the projects here!

“Crocheting Our Community” is a project developed by Sandra Callies, together with Joel Adams and Rose Marie Ludeman, will be installed on the tennis court fence at Spearfish City Park. Several Spearfish residents are helping to crochet large-scale doilies out of twine.

Have you noticed a few of the collaborative art projects appearing in Spearfish? Perhaps you’ve been a part of, or seen, ArtCentral projects such as Linking Fences and the painted crosswalks? Maybe you’ve turned the crank on the new Termesphere in downtown Spearfish. Many have asked why we put so much effort into ArtCentral projects, and each time I talk about why art is so important.
