RAPID CITY \u2013 Indigenous art that illuminates the artscape of He Sapa is essential to the \u201cheart of everything that is.\u201d And many indigenous artists augment their incomes by selling their works at local art markets and shows.<\/p>\n

However, during the pandemic, many professionals, whose sole means of survival is their ability to access these markets, were hit hard.<\/p>\n

So artists Lorri Ann Two Bulls and her cousin Duwana Two Bulls came up with an ingenious way to subvert the impact the shutdowns were having on their way of life.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are a family of artists. Our sons are musicians and we were all hit really hard by the pandemic,\u201d Lorri Ann said. \u201cWe contacted the Dahl and they really worked with us. We were able to secure a missions rate for space. We were able to offer table spaces to the artists for $40 each.\u201d<\/p>\n

After they contacted the Dahl they set out planning what became known as the Black Hills Indian Artist Market. This past weekend was the third art exhibition they\u2019ve organized and was called the Black Hills Indian Artist Market Holiday Show, just in time for Christmas. The event turned out be more than just an art show, it was more of an art experience, where attendees were fully immersed in the art, culture, song and dance of local indigenous people.<\/p>\n
