Step inside Home is Where… during this special Artist Spotlight Tour with Devon Hugdahl, featured in Cyclone: Artist Responses to 100 Years of the History Center of Olmsted County Collection.
Created in response to a historic Pride flag, this immersive installation invites you beneath a vibrant flag “roof” into a cozy, living-room–like space designed for comfort, reflection, and connection. Guests are encouraged to explore, flip through stories from Rochester’s community, play a record, and even contribute their own response to the prompt: "Home is where…?"
"This installation is directly informed by the pride flag and the fact that many in the LGBTQIA+ community can have a complicated relationship with ancestral home. We want all to feel welcomed here, all to feel confident and loved and know that whatever 'Home' is to them, there is one here in Rochester." - Installation Co-Creators Devon Hugdahl & Theoren Sheppard
Meet the artist, hear how this welcoming environment came to life, and experience a powerful artwork that transforms history into a shared space of belonging. Artist Spotlight Tours last approximately 45 minutes and include time for Q&A with the artist.

About the Artist
Devon Hugdahl is a multidisciplinary artist living in Rochester. His work is primarily focused in screen printing, but his background extends through photography and woodworking, and more recently letterpress printing. He has been creating screen printed posters and art on and off for about 20 years. What began as an art of necessity, creating posters promoting his own bands, has evolved into a true passion.
Hugdahl works with local and regional bands, artists, venues, and events to promote their projects through art. He revels in the creative flow of designing, working collaboratively on posters, and in practicing technical skills required to bring those designs to life. Through each new project he pushes his limits as an artist and printermaker, constantly striving for more.
