MAKE A PLAN
Detailed programs are available before and during the event to map out your BSAF weekend. Each year the logo adorned on the program, shirts, and marketing materials is inspired by the previous year’s juried Media Award winner (created by BSAF designer Cynthia Strande-Butler ). This year’s logo is an homage to 2025 winner Eileen Binkley of Eileen Binkley Art .
ON VIEW THROUGH JUNE 21, 2026
Featuring sculptures by the late South Dakota artist and civil rights activist—whose powerful works reveal layered histories and an enduring spirit.
Awards are announced Saturday afternoon of the festival. Ribbons and accolades are given out as the Media Award and Awards of Excellence . Award of Excellence winner Diane Kappes of Kappes Fiber Art was “honored and shocked” to win in 2025. Kappes’s particular type of art is so tedious to make, not many artists have the patience to try it. “It takes me about a year of eight hours every day to get enough stock to do this show,” she said. “I just do this because I love to create.” Sentiments like this are what Huebner says make this event so special. “It's like selling your children, you know. You want to know your art is going to a good home,” he said. “Here you get to meet the people who are buying your stuff, and you make a connection you don’t get in other places.” FOR MORE INFORMATION, VISIT BSAF.COM+
