ART + DESIGN
The VCDC’s office is above the USD Charlie’s Store . The western side of the building hosts the Missouri Weave mural, originally painted by Dick Termes in 1978, which has been a staple piece centering the life-giving river since. Along with visiting the murals, the Sculpture Walk , hosted by the VCA, the South Dakota Shakespeare Festival, Oktoberfest , and Thursday’s on the Platz are artful events to attend, Amende says. “Vermilion is a community of artists,” said Amende. “People who aren't artists, importantly, describe themselves as interested in the arts or as arts advocates.” The Fools 48 annual film contest event adds to the artistic landscape of the area, one he himself participated in, Amende says. “Anybody can have an impact on the place where they live, in whatever way they imagine themselves contributing,” said Hansen. “The murals impact the visual environment, but it's also a reminder that you live here and your voice matters.”
