This show represents cells, the basic function of life from all living species. From trees, plants, flowers, humans, animals, insects. Like a big sandwich cake of layered cells. My paintings of ladies are named after real people. I "borrowed" the names from the 1880
Indian census. The names belonged to my people who were named in our native language. I copied the names exactly spelled bv *bi-lingual census takers* and translated to English. Somehow, the names live on in art.
Real people. Real Names.

Celebrating One Year of Creativity and Community at Serendipity Studio

As we mark our first anniversary, we reflect on the incredible journey that has brought us to this milestone. One year ago, Serendipity Studio opened its doors to artists, art lovers, and the vibrant community that surrounds us.

From our very first workshop to the countless exhibitions that have highlighted the diverse talents of our featured artists, every moment has been filled with creativity, passion, and collaboration. We have had the pleasure of witnessing incredible art being created in our space and forming meaningful connections among artists and patrons alike.

Our commitment to nurturing a thriving artistic community remains at the core of what we do. This past year, we've hosted workshops, exhibitions, and events designed to inspire both seasoned artists and budding creators. We are grateful to everyone who has participated, shared their talents, and supported our mission.

To celebrate this important milestone, we invite you to join us for a special anniversary event. We will showcase new works from our talented artists, host interactive workshops, and enjoy refreshments together as we honor this journey of creativity.

Thank you for being a part of our first year. Here’s to many more years of creativity, inspiration, and community at Serendipity Studio!

Come ride bikes and have fun with women from the Black Hills cycling community!

Rides are every other Thursday starting June 6th. Meeting points vary, so make sure you're headed to the correct spot each week.

Each week, two group leaders will lead a Sport and Rec group. Sport rides will be 7 to 10 miles at a 7+/- mph pace, and Rec rides will be 5 miles or less and accommodating of any pace. This year will feature two bonus weeks outside of Rapid City, and two bike shop social weeks at ACME and Black Hills Bicycles.

These rides are intended to promote and build community around women's mountain biking: female-identifying and non-binary riders of all ages are welcome. Please come equipped with a trail ready bike, helmet, and water!

HLMP rides meet at the bridge at Founder's Park and ride Hanson Larson Memorial Park trails.

For over 600 years, stringed keyboard instruments have served as repositories for human imagination, science, technology, craft, artistry, and music. They are admired for their stature – and oftentimes stunning beauty – alongside their ability to play both melody and harmony. Keyboard innovation has continuously expanded throughout the world, throughout time.

Opening in March 2024, the special exhibition “High Strung: Five Centuries of Stringed Keyboard Instruments” will explore the form, function and development of keyboard instruments from early harpsichords to the modern piano. The special exhibition brings together nearly 20 keyboard instruments from the NMM’s collections - some of which have never before been on exhibit.

Instruments that will be on display include:

• An octave virginal (NMM 4660), from the same workshop as the NMM’s Neapolitan harpsichord, c.1530 (NMM 14408)

• A highly decorated harpsichord by Andreas Ruckers, 1643 (NMM 10000)

• Harpsichord by Nicolas Dufour, 1683 (NMM 5943, pictured below), made in Paris in a native style that fell from popularity by the first decade of the 18th century

• French grand piano, Clavecin à marteaux, (harpsichord with hammers) by Louis Bas (NMM 4653) from 1781. This instrument, the earliest surviving French grand piano, is exceptional, retaining much of its original action parts

• Downward-striking piano by Nanette Streicher und Sohn (NMM 10298), and a small trapezoid hammer instrument by Gottfried Maucher (NMM 4570) – an example of a lesser-known instrument type, similar to the tangentenflugel by Späth and Schmahl, built c.1784 (NMM 4145), which was once a favorite instrument type of Mozart

• Grand piano by Erard (NMM 5984) and Chickering & Sons (NMM 5413), built at a time in which America led the way in piano technology, not only with grand pianos, but also with the large ”square” pianos by makers such as William Knabe & Company (NMM 14447)

“High Strung: Five Centuries of Stringed Keyboard Instruments” will open to the public on March 23, 2024 in the NMM’s Jason & Betsy Groves Special Exhibition Gallery. It will remain open through the calendar year. Support for the exhibition is provided by generous grants from the Clayton and Odessa Lang Ofstad Foundation and the City of Vermillion, SD.
