"I've lived in and around Spearfish, and never stopped by, even though I had always thought about it. Decided one day on a whim to finally go check it out! I am so glad I did. Its a beautiful little art gallery. The artist makes incredible pieces on surfaces you would never imagine and the amounts of details and colors packed within each piece is phenomenal. The staff was extraordinary! They knew so much about the pieces and shared all the information and answered all of the questions. It was well worth the trip and I am excited to drag others along with me next time!"

"A truly sensational art gallery that provides a different perspective. The art offers a twist to one dimension (pun intended). This is not your normal art gallery.
Easy to access from the interstate. You can spend a little bit of time or you can be mesmerized and spend an hour or more enjoying the wonderful pieces. Be sure to ask about viewing with the goggles. Donations accepted. Highly recommend."

"On a Dakota road trip, we decided to stop here to break up the drive. This was one of the best stops I've ever made on a road trip.
The art is incredibly unique. It's the first time I've ever seen anything like this. They are also experimenting with VR to reproduce how the artist sees the art in his own mind. It was a brand new experience for me.
This is a gem and I'd consider it a must stop. Simply call ahead and they'll likely be available to open for you."
