A note from the Prez...

We are proud to host "Sculpture in the Hills" on June 28-29 on Main Street in Hill City.  Featuring 26 artists from nine states across the Midwest, our fine art sculpture show and sale will represent multiple media with subject matter ranging from life size presidents to Native American, Western and African imagery.  Free to the public, our show runs Saturday, 10 am to 7 pm and Sunday, 10 am to 4 pm.  The public will vote on "People's Choice" for their favorite sculpture at the show.  The $750 prize will be awarded to the artist on Sunday at 3 pm.  Thanks to our sponsors Mike and Lesta Turchen for sponsoring this award.  


Sculpture in the Hills will showcase 26 artists from 9 states including South Dakota artists Bryan Bortnem, John Lopez, Mavis Madison, Jim Maher, Brett Prang, Richard Tucker, Roger Wermers, Lee Leuning, Sherry Treebi, Peg Detmers, Dale Lamphere, Eric Wenger and Grant Standard. 


The Best of Show award, voted on by our judges, will be presented at a special Sneak Preview party for art patrons on Friday night, June 27 between 6 and 8 pm.  If you would like to attend the Sneak Preview party and be the first to view and purchase the artists' work, contact us at info@hillcityarts.org or 605-574-4440.  Reservations are required for this fun event and a limited number of tickets are available for $20 per person.
