-What do a 25-year old woman in a wheelchair and a 103-year old bridge player have in common? They are part of “The Beautiful Women of North Dakota” exhibit at Bismarck Art & Galleries Association, 422 E. Front Ave., through April 24. Crossing North Dakota, husband and wife, Billy Black Marcil and Chris Linnares, sought out the women to tell their stories in words and pictures. For more information and a book content review, visit BeautifulWomenOf.com. “The Beautiful Women of North Dakota” exhibit recognizes women whose beauty is revealed through action.
