Step into the studio of sculptor Porter Williams | Dakota Life

It has been a long road to get there for Porter Williams but the art of sculpture creation finally found him thirty years ago. After struggling with pencils, he found relief in oils, but he found his true purpose in the three-dimensional process of sculpting. With a driven interest in history and art, he founded the South Dakota African American History Museum at the Washington Pavilion in Sioux Falls. So that others might learn more about heritage and culture here in South Dakota through art.
