Since its founding in 2005, Artists of the Black Hills has united professional artists, artisans, and galleries to promote the Black Hills as a premier arts destination. The organization showcases a wide array of talented artists, many of whom are recognized both regionally and nationally for their contributions to the arts. The opening reception on June 20 gives a unique opportunity for the public to engage with these artists and celebrate their creative achievements.

This exhibition is broad in scope and ambitious in vision. Artwork will include paintings, sculpture, photography, printmaking, jewelry, collage, assemblage, and more. A wide variety of media highlights the unique approach of each artist. The exhibit represents distinct artistic approaches sparking creative thinking and long impressions.

Each member of ABH has been juried into the organization by a selection committee composed of fellow artists. The goal has always been to highlight the vast artistic talent in the Black Hills region and the significant role art plays in enhancing our quality of life in this area.

Tim Peterson, plein air painter and ABH member, adds, "We are thrilled to present this final exhibition at the Dahl, a cornerstone of the downtown Rapid City arts community and a leading gallery in South Dakota and the region. Hosting this show during the busy summer season ensures that both residents and visitors can experience the breadth of artistic excellence ABH has fostered over the past twenty years."

Cassia McLoone’s work is a deeply personal excavation of memory, identity, and healing—a reflection on growing up in Sioux Falls as an only child to a single mother navigating undiagnosed mental illness. Through photography, sculpture, and installation, she pieces together fragments of her past, recontextualizing childhood images and personal archives to make sense of the journey from adolescence to adulthood.

This exhibition unfolds as a visual memoir, guiding viewers through themes of grief, anger, guilt, and resilience. Each work serves as an attempt to preserve memories, to hold onto moments that have shaped her while processing the weight of trauma and transformation.

Rare Jefferson Peace Medal Exhibit at Mead Museum

An original 220-year old Jefferson Peace Medal on loan to the Mead Museum is on display as part of the Journeying Forward: Connecting Cultures exhibit. The 4-inch Jefferson Peace Medal is extremely rare and a historically significant artifact from the early 19th century.
The peace medals were commissioned by President Thomas Jefferson as part of diplomatic efforts with Native American tribes, serving as symbols of goodwill and alliance between the U.S. government and Indigenous leaders. The Lewis & Clark Expedition handed out 89 of them to leaders of Native Nations on their journey between 1804-1806. This medal is one of less than 5 on display in the world!
In addition to the peace medal, the Journeying Forward exhibit also had an upgrade in its history of the Ihanktonwan and Oceti Sakowin Nations, an important narrative to Yankton regional history.
The Mead Museum is located at 82 Mickelson Dr in Yankton SD. The Museum is open weekdays 10AM to 5PM and on Saturdays/Sundays from 1PM to 5PM.

The Nosebleeds Monthly Film Festival is proud to host a public screening of The Librarians at the historic Sioux Falls State Theatre, followed by a live Q&A with local librarians and elected officials. This conversation will shine a light on how national censorship trends are echoing through our own state.

The Librarians explores how library professionals—often overlooked and underfunded—have become unexpected first responders in the fight to defend First Amendment rights. With insight, courage, and emotional clarity, the film documents how book bans targeting race, gender identity, and LGBTQIA+ voices are not isolated events.

Why It Matters Here - In South Dakota, recent legislation mirrors the very tactics portrayed in The Librarians. HB1197 mandates library policies around “obscene” content, while HB1239 could criminalize librarians for providing young people access to books some deem objectionable. These bills, under the guise of protecting youth, threaten the core of intellectual freedom and access to information.

About the Festival - Founded nine years ago, the Nosebleeds Monthly Film Festival is a grassroots, family-run series showcasing independent films that provoke conversation and spark community action.
