Dennis Terhak attended Moorhead State College after serving four years in the Marine Corps. He spent 25 years wielding a brush, working as a sign painter. Pelicans have been his main focus. This exhibit will be on view from May 16-July 2. At The Spirit Room they do their best to keep guests healthy while offering access to the arts, that seems even more important during these times.

This show was nominated for a Drama League Award for Outstanding Production of a Broadway or Off-Broadway Play in 2014 and it’s been confounding audiences ever since.
