AMSBERRY Yankton Area Arts Happy New Year from all of us at Yankton Area Arts! We are looking forward to great things in 2020 and are grateful to have your support and participation all year long! A new exhibit combining photography with woven fiber paintings will begin an eclectic season of art exhibitions at G.A.R. Hall. “Phases” is an aptly named exhibit for our two artists, Cheryl Peterson Halsey and Phyllis W. Packard. Ms. Halsey, of Springfield has dabbled in a variety of art forms including whimsical columns, zentangle, and leather jewelry. Her next phase of artistry is with camera in hand, traveling the world and capturing moments, “looking for what I hadn’t seen.” Phyllis Packard is from Vermillion. Patrons will see three phases of her work. “One phase includes my search to provide paintings through woven fiber of the South Julie Dakota prairie atmosphere and landscape. The second phase pieces play with the many phases of the moon and the habitat of Monarchs. The third phase, in some way is an extension of phase two, providing a whimsical search of childhood memories.” This exhibit will be on display Jan. 10-Feb. 25 with a special reception honoring the artists on Friday, Feb. 7, from 5-7 p.m. All exhibits are free and open to the public.

NSU School Of Fine Arts To Hold Young Artist Competition, Scholarship Invitational ABERDEEN — The Northern State University School of Fine Arts will hold two scholarship events this winter for high school students. The Friends of the Arts/NSU Young Artist Competition will take place Saturday, Jan. 11, and the annual School of Fine Arts Scholarship Invitational will be held Feb. 21-22. Both events will take place in the Johnson Fine Arts Center. “The faculty are very excited about these opportunities to host so much high school talent in the visual and performing arts,” said NSU School of Fine Arts Dean Dr. Kenneth Boulton. “These are wonderful events for prospective students to present their work and interact directly with our world-class faculty.” YOUNG ARTIST COMPETITION This competition is open to high school juniors and seniors throughout the upper Midwest. Students from across the region are expected to participate, representing all four performance categories (voice, piano, strings, winds/brass/percussion), Boulton said. They will compete for a total of $7,000 in cash prizes, including $1,000 for firstplace winners of each category, $500 for second-place winners and $250 for third-place winners. Guaranteed four-year music scholarships to Northern will also be available. A ceremony announcing the winners and presenting their performances will take place at 4 p.m. in the Harvey and Cynthia Jewett Theater. The ceremony is open to the public. “This event is one of several new recruiting initiatives spearheaded by the music faculty, in order to help attract greater numbers of top instrumental and vocal talent to NSU,” Boulton said. FINE ARTS SCHOLARSHIP INVITATIONAL The Scholarship Invitational, open to high school seniors, has existed as a scholarship audition weekend specific to music for many years, Boulton said. “However, the School of Fine Arts faculty conceived a way to re-brand this event, so that it could potentially benefit the enrollment and visibility of all major areas within the School of Fine Arts,” he said. “This will be the fourth year of the Fine Arts Invitational, and we have seen genuine improvement in our targeted, comprehensive recruitment efforts.” Presently, there are already nearly 80 applications from students interested in fine arts scholarships for the 202021 academic year. Registrations are preferred by Friday, Feb. 14; however, applications are accepted at any time, and arrangements may be made for individual student visits throughout the spring semester. For more information about either event, visit the NSU School of Fine Arts online, or contact Laura Haar or Jani Kovach at 605-626-2497, Laura.Haar@ northern.edu or Jani.Kovach@northern. edu.
