The Rapid City Arts Council is seeking an energetic, experienced and innovative Executive Director to further its mission and manage its operations which include the region’s premier art center.

Thanks, Jackie, but I'm tied to the Detroit area right now. And I'm sure there are other people more qualified than I to schmooze the many politicians, art patrons and hangers-on that would love this job. Rapid City is near the Black Hills, one of the prettiest unknown destinations in the country. Up in the Hills, the weather is cooler, the mountains are beckoning, and the smell of the pines is unforgettable.
Plus there aren't a lot of shows in western South Dakota -- Spearfish has a good one, and the shows in Colorado are decent. It's a days' drive from KC and Des Moines, too, but boy it's a long way from Florida!
Hearing this, then, this could be a nice job for someone. I am glad that you were able to to add to this info. Thanks for sharing that, Jim.
