SILVERMINE ARTS CENTER WILL BE CLOSED ON MONDAY, FEBRUARY 17, IN OBSERVANCE OF PRESIDENT'S DAY  

1906

February 14, 2023

Sculptor Solom Borglum purchased a farm in Silvermine. In 1908, Borglum invited artists to join him at his barn to socialize, exhibit, and critique or “knock” one another’s work on Sundays. The gathering became known as the Knockers Club, and members began to share their work with the community. The exhibition became a yearly event in the late summer and
grew in popularity.
