Your valued support of the South Dakota Art Museum connects people to art and to each other. Members make it happen! Your generosity and passion make possible the collecting, preservation, exhibition, and interpretation of visual art. You provide access and education, and foster appreciation of the visual arts across the state and beyond. Since South Dakota State University funding applies to Museum salaries and overhead, membership and donations support Museum exhibitions and programs. Every dollar that you give contributes directly to enriching our community and individual lives through art. Thank you sincerely for your support and commitment! 

You will receive your membership card in the mail within two weeks of placing your order. 

Any questions can be directed to our Membership Coordinator, Carolyne Hart, at [email protected] or by calling the Museum at 605-688-5423.
