Rapid City Arts Project

Anna Huntington, community arts coordinator for the Rapid City Arts Project, joins the program. This summer, Japanese born California artist Masayuki Nagase begins carving a 21-piece granite sculpture on Rapid City's Main Street Square. A committee of arts and civic leaders chose Nagase out of an international pool of 88 applicants through a year-long selection process. His preliminary design for "The Sculpture Project: Passage of Wind and Water" is based on his experience of the beauty and power of nature in the Black Hills and Badlands of Western South Dakota.
