The South Dakota Art Museum Guild will host a program on April 28, 2026, featuring Sioux Falls artist Rodger Ellingson. Ellingson will present “Events and Seasons: Painting in Living Color,” showcasing his plein air and studio works in watercolor and acrylic, with subjects drawn from the upper Midwest and northern Rockies. The event includes coffee and social time at 9:30 a.m., followed by the program at 10 a.m. at the South Dakota Art Museum in Brookings.
This program is part of the Guild’s 2025-26 season of free monthly talks by artists and arts professionals, supported by membership dues. It highlights the museum’s role in engaging the local community with regional artists and building its art acquisition fund. Ellingson’s inclusion in the South Dakota Governor’s 11th Biennial Art Exhibition underscores the significance of regional biennial recognition for artists working in traditional media.
