SDAM Guild
The South Dakota Art Museum Guild provides invaluable volunteer support to the museum and hosts regular programs and excursions, open to the public. Please join us for these informative and fun events!
This year's programs take place in person at the museum with coffee and social time at 9:30 a.m., program at 10 a.m., followed by a brief meeting as needed. Most programs will be videoed and available to view later on our YouTube channel:
Email reminders will also be sent to everyone on our Guild email list, so make sure we have your email by contacting Guild President, Cari Killefer.
Guild membership is encouraged but not required to attend. Dues of $20 per year support Guild programs and contribute to the museum's Art Acquisitions Fund.
2023-2024 Guild Programs
According to the Metropolitan Museum of Art: “Art is practice, art is mastery. Art is fierce, art is tender. Art is rendered, art is stitched.” Because there are no absolute explanations, South Dakota Art Museum Guild members are encouraged to observe, to debate, and to develop their own definitions of art. Join us for these engaging programs!
