See talented locals artists and the history of Burnsville in a Burnsville’s Performing Arts Center exhibition called “Community + Evolution + Art = BPAC.” The exhibition, curated by the Dakota County Historical Society, opens on Thursday, Jan. 29 from 6–9 p.m.
The exhibition spotlights talented local artists and the history of change that is Burnsville’s past and present. Many artists and historical society staff will be on hand to discuss their work.
