Sam Bloom, Ailin Montgomery, and Victor Aislinn share paintings, photographs, and sculptures ignited by the panic, desire, relief, and the destruction that fire creates.
It’s a call to all sensations of heat - the spark of want in your chest, the quick singe from lighting a match, the comfort of a candlelit night.
The warmth keeps us strong, but the cleansing is ruthless. What can you save from the flames, and how? Can you salvage what gets left behind?
Step a little closer and feel every flicker, every fever.
Join the Sturgis Public Library for family-friendly walks focused on discovering art in nature! Meet at the Sturgis Softball Fields on Tuesday, June 3rd at 11:00 AM. **Weather permitting
Rare Jefferson Peace Medal Exhibit at Mead Museum
An original 220-year old Jefferson Peace Medal on loan to the Mead Museum is on display as part of the Journeying Forward: Connecting Cultures exhibit. The 4-inch Jefferson Peace Medal is extremely rare and a historically significant artifact from the early 19th century. The peace medals were commissioned by President Thomas Jefferson as part of diplomatic efforts with Native American tribes, serving as symbols of goodwill and alliance between the U.S. government and Indigenous leaders. The Lewis & Clark Expedition handed out 89 of them to leaders of Native Nations on their journey between 1804-1806. This medal is one of less than 5 on display in the world!In addition to the peace medal, the Journeying Forward exhibit also had an upgrade in its history of the Ihanktonwan and Oceti Sakowin Nations, an important narrative to Yankton regional history.The Mead Museum is located at 82 Mickelson Dr in Yankton SD. The Museum is open weekdays 10AM to 5PM and on Saturdays/Sundays from 1PM to 5PM.
