Arts South Dakota

Arts South Dakota improves the lives of South dakotans as a catalyst for creative and artistic expression in communities and schools. South Dakota, as a state and a people, encourages the development of artistic talent in all individuals and values the worth of creative expression to the quality of life of its citizens and to the economic, social and educational growth of its communities. South dakotans have opportunities to participate in the Arts in their own communities and to experience the work of professional artists in their communities or region. All South Dakota children have the opportunity to experience and participate in art forms that enhance life-long learning by expanding curiosity, creativity, team-building skills and self-worth.
