Are we Mount Rushmore, The Badlands, and Custer State Park? Sure. But we’re also tap houses, native arts, co-ops, hipster barber shops, and barbeque—and these are just some of the stories we’ve told in the past year.
This issue continues that tradition. You’ll meet local muralist Aaron Pearcy, whose work you’ve no doubt seen in downtown Rapid City. You’ll read how the Suzie Cappa Art Center has weathered the pandemic. And you’ll learn how zero-waste and art are able to go hand-in-hand. Finally, you’ll see the world through the eyes of a young local photographer who has mastered the art of staying in the present moment at the young age of 17. If only we’d all been so lucky at that age.
