Having fun with play in learning & art

On today's show...

While many stargazers left the state to witness the eclipse, three South Dakota communities honored Dark Sky Week here at home. We learn more from a DarkSky member.

The Children's Museum of South Dakota is celebrating the Week of the Young Child. We take a look at what's happening in young minds while they play — and why play is so important.

The roles were reversed at a recent youth conference led by U.S. Rep. Dusty Johnson. Johnson moderated a panel with SDPB's Lori Walsh and Jonathan Ellis, co-founder of The Dakota Scout.

They discuss how it felt to be an interviewee instead of interviewer. And they talk about what they learned from the high school students at the conference.

Artist Dick Termes broke out of flat canvases with his revolutionary, six-point perspective Termespheres. We learn more from Craig Volk, author of "Dick Termes: Black Hills Artist and Visionary."

Plus, we explore how the Dahl Art Center is inviting young people into the arts industry. It starts by stepping into the circus at the Teen Art Studio show.
