Arts nonprofits face unique challenges — now more than ever

On today's show...

The University of South Dakota Opera brings "The Gondoliers" to the stage this weekend after a five-year pandemic-induced delay.

Director Tracelyn Gesteland, D.M.A., and two student performers preview the operatic comedy of lost kings and mistaken identities (1:00 to 20:08).

Artist and educator Marty Two Bulls Jr. is adding "arts advocate" to the long list of roles he fills in his Black Hills community. He was named interim executive director of the Rapid City Arts Council last week.

He discusses the typical challenges of fundraising for an arts organization and why it's even harder now (20:08 to 38:26).

Plus, public media funding is under attack. SDPB's Lori Walsh and Molly Broin from Friends of SDPB share how you can help.

Give to SDPB.
