The City of Sioux Falls unveiled the new Charlotte Carver Art Gallery inside City Hall on June 4, 2026, featuring an inaugural juried exhibition of 12 local artists. During the opening, local artist Breanna Fischer's work "Lighthouse" was selected for permanent display, purchased by the city. Other artists include Cameron Abbas, Brit Carmany, Amy Jardin, Caitlin Pisha, Susan Haygood, Hector Curriel, Courtney Hart, Meagan Turbak-Fogarty, Lindsay Twa, Cole Casper, and Jana Anderson; Turbak-Fogarty's piece "Home" was purchased by Mayor Paul TenHaken. All works are for sale through November, and the gallery will host an annual juried exhibition.
This matters because it establishes a new, permanent municipal venue dedicated to showcasing local visual artists in Sioux Falls, integrating public art directly into city government. The annual juried format and city purchase program provide ongoing support and recognition for the regional art community, fostering civic engagement with contemporary local artwork.
