ART + DESIGN
“We’ve had creative teams and office groups come through for tours, especially from industries that thrive on visual innovation,” said Henrichs. “It’s an intimate and immersive experience.” In addition to hosting exhibitions, Norse Art Space also offers art advisory services for individuals and organizations. Whether artists are interested in beginning a personal collection, need guidance on curating artwork for your home, or want to explore how art can enhance a corporate space or brand environment, Schaeffer says they’re here to help. “We’re invested not only in showing great work, but in helping art find meaningful places to live beyond our walls,” he said. As for the future of Norse Art Space, Henrichs says they envision the gallery giving opportunities artists see nationwide. “Joe and I see Norse as a catalyst for a thriving economic and cultural arts ecosystem in Sioux Falls and the surrounding region,” said Henrichs. “We want to see Midwestern artists—especially those in rural areas—gain the same access to collectors, critics, and opportunities as their coastal peers. Norse is just the beginning.”
“The exhibition is both a celebration and a thank you—honoring the influence he’s had on generations of artists, colleagues, and students,” said Schaeffer. The show features work by current USD faculty, as well as alumni whose practices have been shaped by Knedler’s presence over the years. A wide range of media is displayed, like painting, design, sculpture, printmaking, photography, and digital projection. Coming up next is a collaborative showcase between Schaeffer and Henrichs, focusing on the intersection of light and function in contemporary art. “The exhibition explores how aesthetics and utility can be fused in a gallery setting,” said Henrichs. “It highlights works that straddle the line between sculpture, installation, and design—functional objects infused with artistic intent.” Dates and more details will be released on their website and social media soon. If someone wants to visit Norse Art Space, appointments can be made. The pair offer private walk-throughs and can be as hands-off or hands-on as the guest prefers.
