GREAT PLAINS ART INSTITUTE

Where art and Lakota culture come alive

Looking for a path to a career in art?
We can help guide you.

GPAI at SGU Mission Statement:

We offer both mainstream and Native American art studies from a

bi-cultural viewpoint to provide an educational opportunity for the

Sicangu Lakota Oyate and members of the surrounding community.

Public engagement is underpinned as we prepare students with a

background in art history, theory, and practice. We support students

in developing the necessary skills for pursuing the arts as a

livelihood on the Rosebud or elsewhere.
