Plains Art Museum, Fargo, North Dakota Acquires Wet Plate Collidion Images of Shane BalkowitschPlains Art Museum, Fargo, North Dakota I just received confirmation from Andy Maus from the Plains Art Museum that their board has decided to acquire my entire series “Covid-19 Social Isolation Wet Plate Series” for their permanent archive. It makes me very happy the works will be kept here in my home state of North Dakota long after I am gone.

Plains Art Museum is the largest and only accredited art museum in North Dakota, reflecting our “demonstration of the highest professional standards for education, public service and collections stewardship, and a commitment to continued institutional improvement.” Less than 7% of American museums have the distinction of being accredited.
