SMAC will be hosting an event that is free and open to the Public Friday night! May 1: 7 – 9 PM         
Prairie Voices & Visuals  ~ Open to the Public ~  
Rural artist voices are important.  Artists are creative thinkers and problem-solvers, who are essential to movements for change. Art can be the conduit needed to sustain and heal a community; it can be the challenge needed to see things in a new light and a call to action.  

This evening is meant for artists to share their work to address current lived experiences through various creative mediums. Whether you are a visual artist, poet, musician, dancer or actor – you will have a space to share your work.  Visual artists can have a booth/table and literal or performing artists can have time on stage at the Danebod gymnasium.
