On today's show...
We celebrate the arts across South Dakota. From helping shape our youth to to finding and immersing our adult selves, arts provides the outlet and space to explore and grow.
Randy Cohen and Andrew Reinartz share the importance and benefits of creativity. Cohen is the vice president of research at Americans for the Arts. Reinartz is the community development director at Arts South Dakota.
We broke down the social and economic impact of the arts within South Dakota and how being involved in the arts can lead to being an all around better person.
We dive into the world of arts advocacy with Janet Brown and Maren Engel. Brown is a nonprofit arts consultant and former president and CEO of Grantmakers in the Arts. Engel is the new arts coordinator with the city of Sioux Falls. We look back at Brown's decades-long career and ahead at Engel's new position.
Plus, sculptor Cameron Stalheim shares why he considers being an artist to be embedded deep in his soul and heart. We learn about his artistic journey and winning the People's Choice Award in 2023 for the Sioux Falls SculptureWalk.
