For many Lakota artists it is very difficult finding a place where they can create their work. Through a partnership between several local organizations a new place made specifically for artists is on its way.
Arts centers and studio buildings abound, but what about an artspace dedicated exclusively to local Native artists? Soon there will be one in South Dakota on the Pine Ridge Reservation.
The Oglala Lakota Artspace LLC—comprised of Artspace, First Peoples Fund, and Lakota Funds—announced today the Ground Breaking ceremony for the first-ever arts center on the geographically vast Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota: The Oglala Lakota Artspace. The arts facility is designed to provide local Native artists with increased access to essential resources needed for their work.
