NEW JOURNAL TO BOLSTER ARTS IN SOUTH DAKOTA

Plans have begun for a new arts journal that will celebrate and promote the arts in South Dakota.

The annual publication is led by Arts South Dakota, in partnership with the South Dakota Arts Council, South Dakota Magazine and other groups. 

“One of the best kept secrets of our state is that we have an arts culture second to none,” says Jim Speirs, executive director of Arts South Dakota. “It is a culture rich with talent, diversity and promise. We intend this new journal to be a yearbook-like celebration and reflection of the amazing endeavors that are achieved here.”

Speirs says the new publication, to be titled South Dakota Arts Journal, is scheduled for completion in May. More information HERE
