DICKINSON - Southwest Art Gallery & Science Center (SWAGSC), through the support of Chord Energy, will present “A Shared Trail: Horse Culture of the Northern Plains,” a traveling exhibition developed in collaboration with the MHA Interpretive Center and the North Dakota Cowboy Hall of Fame/Center of Western Heritage & Cultures. The exhibition opens Thursday, Nov. 12, and runs through Thursday, Feb. 25, 2027.
Exhibition hours are Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday from 1-4 p.m. Admission is free but donations are suggested.
“A Shared Trail” explores the horse as a common thread running through western North Dakota’s Native American, ranching and rodeo traditions. Through artifacts, sculpture, paintings and other mediums, the exhibition invites visitors to consider how these communities have each been shaped by life alongside the horse and how those stories continue to meet, overlap and carry forward today.
The exhibition is the product of a collaboration among the three institutions, each contributing its own collections, knowledge and perspective.
Following its run in Dickinson, “A Shared Trail” is scheduled to travel to partner venues, including the MHA Nation Interpretive Center in New Town and the NDCHF/Center of Western Heritage & Cultures in Medora.
