NDCA curates an exhibit space on the 18th, or observatory, floor of the ND State Capitol. The 18th floor provides a wonderful opportunity to showcase the work of North Dakota artists in a variety of disciplines to the over 12,000 residents and tourists that visit the building every year.

This excellent, well-lit space provides great views in addition to displaying historical photos of the Capitol building over the years. North Dakota residents looking to exhibit in the Capitol can submit a brief resume along with links/images of their work to arts@nd.gov.
