Review for Sturgis Center For The Arts Inc, Sturgis, SD, USA
The Sturgis Center for The Arts is an amazing place that brings such a diverse population together with a common denominator- an interest in the Arts. All with a pleasant and welcoming aura. What a wonderful place for people of all ages!! Our son utilized their guitar lessons, sold an amp and participated in many "open jam" sessions. They also went out of their way to help them start a band, even going so far as to help with T-shirt sponsorship and so much more. I was able to take a group of teenagers to a community meeting, where they spoke about their passion for the Center for the Arts and discovered what advocating meant, and were so hopeful that a new building would be acquired. They also volunteered during the rally to move all of the equipment, which instilled in them a sense of community. Recently the Board I serve on (Piedmont Park Board) was able to partner with them for their BAM (Bike and Music)festival providing a place for the bikes to unload. Hopefully next year we can give them a greater send off!!
