The Sioux Falls arts community is filled with remarkable talent. Live & Local brings that talent together for original performances created specifically for local audiences.
Each event is shaped by leaders from the local arts community who invite established and emerging artists to share ideas, cross creative boundaries and build something new. The result is a series of one-night-only collaborations spanning music, storytelling, comedy, theater, dance and poetry.
Discover a new favorite artist, see familiar performers in an entirely new way and experience what Sioux Falls can create when its artists share the stage.
