Arts Advocacy Day at the Legislature

Arts Advocacy Day at the Legislature serves to heighten awareness and appreciation of the arts for our legislators and other decision-makers.

South Dakota State Capitol, Pierre

We’re hoping that community arts supporters and representatives from arts centers, museums and performance venues will join us in Pierre on February 14. We’ll be celebrating in a variety of ways.

Capitol visitors will enter through the north doors and be directed into the Security Office for screening.
