Today is Arts Day at the State Capitol in Pierre. The annual event is sponsored by the advocacy group South Dakotans for the Arts. Around 120 pieces of art created by students in every legislative district are featured on tote bags given to all state lawmakers, Governor Daugaard and other officials. Secretary of Education Melody Schopp discussed the arts in South Dakota's schools. She was joined by Winner High School teacher Karyl Clay and Winner High School Junior Samantha Simkins.
