Discover Local & Regional Artists
Wings Over Alma is a place to see artwork by local and regional artists. By acquiring their work, you may add to (or begin!) your personal collection. These innovative and educational mix of exhibition projects are based on themed shows, solo exhibitions and an annual Artist Member group exhibit. As a non-profit center, we strive to support and make connections between individual artists, prospective buyers and the community. Also, enjoy Wings Over Alma’s permanent collection including many fine local and regional artists, such as John Runions.

Dale Schaffner has been a farmer in Buffalo County all of his life. He has always had a deep connection to the land. Farming is a way of life that has honed his eye for detail and fostered a profound awareness of the wildlife and natural beauty surrounding him. It was from the vantage point of his tractor, amidst long hours and quiet observation, that his passion for photography began. He noticed the subtle movements of the animals, the fleeting moments of light, and the intricate patterns of nature that many do not see. With countless hours patiently waiting for the perfect shot and developing a deep understanding of animal behavior, he has mastered the art of capturing the essence of area nature and wildlife. Dale’s photographs are a testament to his dedication, his patience, and profound respect for the natural world.
