Tomorrow evening — meet printmaker Malcolm Blair!

Doors open at 5:00 PM, with a short artist Q&A at 5:30.

A Long Island native, Malcolm has been making art for over fifty years — painting, printmaking, sculpture, and ceramics. After a printmaking residency at Rutgers and years working alongside printmakers Kathy Carracio and Bob Blackburn in New York, his work has reached galleries and private collections from New York to California.
Come see his striking, singular prints up close and hear the stories behind them.

See you there! ✨

What an incredible night at the YAA Color Run 5K and Kids Loop! You ran, you walked, you got absolutely covered in color — and you made this community something truly special.

A HUGE thank you to our sponsor Tony’s Painting for making this event possible, and to River City Gymnastics for keeping everyone fueled at the taco bar. And to every single volunteer who manned those color stations — you were amazing! 🙌

To our 5K runners: you crushed it through all 7 color stations. To our Kids Loop participants: the energy and joy you brought was everything. 🧒✨

Every dollar raised tonight goes directly toward supporting the arts right here in Yankton. You didn’t just run a race — you helped keep art, music, and creativity alive and accessible in our community.

We are so incredibly grateful for each and every one of you.

Tag us in your colorful photos — we want to see the damage!

Thank you Tessa Ann Photography for the the photos!
