ART OF THE HILLS magazine has gained recognition throughout South Dakota and the surrounding region as a high-quality magazine focusing on arts and culture. Each issue illuminates a single topic—like architecture, design, abstract art, or emerging artists—and places the Great Plains experience in a national or worldwide context.

Two favorite features are the BUSINESS OF ART and the ART OF BUSINESS, which assist both artists and art lovers to understand the art marketplace.

As a local publication, ART OF THE HILLS has provided momentum to the creative community, established itself as a crucial vehicle for artist exposure, and successfully introduced regional art and culture to a much wider population. It's become so good at its job that we will be changing the magazine's name to something more reflective of our wider region.
