Sit and stay awhile; immerse yourself in art in this South Dakota Art Museum exhibition, "Linger: Slow Looking with the Collection." Observe contemporary art from a new perspective—learn to linger, practice slow looking, and discover more about the art and about yourself. How long can you look at one artwork? For us to really know and appreciate art, we need to spend time with it. Yet, most of us only spend on average 8 seconds looking at works on display. The selections in Linger are presented for you to enjoy through Slow Looking. This process is not about others telling you about the art; rather, Slow Looking is about exploring and discovering on your own. So, stay a while and immerse yourself in art. To get started, you may want to choose an art piece with figures and action, such as Treasure Coach from Deadwood by Charles Hargens. Once you feel comfortable slow looking, you might try something more abstract, such as pieces on display by Signe Stuart, Dennis Guastella, or James Eisentrager. Try to challenge yourself to spend five to ten minutes with each piece. You might even set a quiet timer on your phone. Allow yourself to discover the details, examine the line, imagine the feel of the surface, look for brushstrokes, and ask yourself questions about the art. What do you think is going on? What would you like to ask the artist? What interests you about the work? What do you feel when you examine the work? Remember, it's not rude to stare at a work of art. You are encouraged to try this method on any artwork on display in the Museum. Please use the comment books to share what you discover when you linger. Artists whose works are on display: Carol Brown Goldberg ￭ Dean Cornwell ￭ James Eisentrager ￭ Dennis Guastella ￭ Charles Hargens ￭ Signe Stuart

In 1874 Lieutenant Colonel George Armstrong Custer led an expedition into the Black Hills where his prospectors discovered gold in French Creek, setting off a stampede to the Black Hills and leading to violent confrontations with the Lakota and other tribes. But before that happened there had been constant warfare with those tribes which had not signed the 1868 Fort Laramie Treaty. Sitting Bull was one of those leaders. When railroad survey teams passed through their hunting grounds in Dakota and Montana Territories, Sitting Bull and others fought to expel them. One of the military leaders assigned to protect the railroad surveyors was Custer. What happened during those clashes? What was Sitting Bull doing as prospectors invaded the Black Hills? What were Sitting Bull’s actions leading up to and during the Battle of the Little Big Horn? Join Bill Markley, South Dakota Humanities Council Speakers’ Bureau Scholar, author, and historian, as he discusses these questions and similar topics. Bring a lunch and enjoy the Historic Adams House lawn; 12:00 p.m.; free event. In case of inclement weather, the lecture will be moved to the Homestake Adams Research and Cultural Center (HARCC).

You will be traveling to four local, organic farms, learning about their agricultural production methods and sampling their product!
Here’s how the excursion will go:
Meet at the Sturgis Community Center to ride as a group in an air-conditioned bus. We'll travel just a few miles to visit Michelle Grosek at Bear Butte Gardens. Michelle has been organic gardening for years and a few years ago built a commercial kitchen, a store front and a country B & B from which you have an excellent view of Bear Butte.
From Bear Butte Gardens, you’ll head North to see Brian at Belle Valley Ancient Grains. Brian produces different kinds of specialty flour. From actually planting and growing the seed to harvesting and making the flour, he does it all.
The third stop will be to see Desiree Duncan at Duncan Heritage Farms. You’ll get to see a classic farm stead where they grow corn and put up hay.
And lastly, you’ll head West for your final stop to visit Bernadette Barnaud at Owl Creek Organics & Natural Products. Bernadette has been a gardener and beekeeper for years and produces different kinds of flavored honey and jams sweetened with honey.
You may wish to pack a lunch, although at each stop you will get a beverage and snack. You are also welcome to bring a small cooler for purchases. These producers will share how their production works, what they do and how they do it.
Youth are welcome, but will need to have a ticket purchased for their seat.
