The 17th annual ArtsQuest at Bismarck State College continues through April and early May with performances and presentations by guest artists and BSC students.
ArtsQuest opened early on March 12 with nearly 800 people attending the Rick Steves event. BSC's spring musical launches April 2 with a powerful and arresting play about revolution, "The Persecution and Assassination of Jean-Paul Marat as Performed by the Inmates of the Asylum of Charenton under the Direction of the Marquis de Sade."
BSC brings alumni artists Tama Smith and Lee Hulteng for a week residency and art sale April 7-10 in "Journey as an Artist." The Collage concert April 8 offers a blend of music and visual art. International musician and composer Lauren Pelon entertains April 9, followed mid-month by BSC instrumental and choral concerts.
On April 25, Chris Brubeck's Triple Play returns to BSC. Virtuoso musicians with international acclaim, the trio performs everything from jazz and blues to folk, funk and the classics. Renowned illustrator Kevin Tong of Los Angeles talks about his work April 30.
May features a student art exhibit, jazz concert, outdoor raku firing, Campus Arts Crawl, BSC Sing Appeal concert, and the Festival of Short Plays. Nearly all events are presented at no charge.
ArtsQuest began in 1998 as a project of the Arts and Communication Department to highlight the talent of BSC students and bring performances and presentations by guest artists to campus. For more information, visit bismarckstate.edu/artsquest.
