NEA Chair Rocco Landesman gets a taste of the SD/WY Black Hills this week

The Heritage Center at Red Cloud Indian School will be showcasing the musical group Scatter Their Own at the reception for National Endowment for the Arts Chairman Rocco Landesman on Thursday, Nov. 17, 10 a.m. at The Dahl Center in Rapid City. Juliana, the bass player, is a recent honors graduate of Red Cloud High School on the Pine Ridge Reservation. Landesman will be in S.D. to talk about “Creative Placemaking in the Black Hills Region.” Last time we looked at a map, some of that Black Hills region was in Wyoming. And it still is! Some of our Black Hills artists and arts group reps might want to traipse over to Rapid on Thursday to what’s cooking, creative placemaking-wise.
