Ingle is an advocate for the LGBTQ2S+ community and helped organize Sioux Falls' first Pride parade.

By Saturday, Yankton Trail Park will also be bustling with Sioux Falls Pride activities. The Pride festival begins at noon and will feature about 75 vendors. 'A combination of people that are selling things, free booths, information-only booths. There's a lot of free swag you can get at the festival, so please come ready to fill up a bag with some really cool stuff,' Fonder said. Fonder and Ingle say anyone is welcome to attend. 'It would be really great to have as many people come out to these events as possible,' Ingle said.

Local artists set up shop at Washington Pavilion
SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO) — Artists from all walks of life will have their works on display this weekend at the Washington Pavilion in downtown Sioux Falls. The Everist Gallery at Washington Pavilion is currently brimming with artwork by local artists. 'It's all about them and it's all about them selling their work,' lead curator Jana Anderson said. Jana Anderson is the lead curator at the Pavilion and says more than 70 artists are showcasing their works during the Art Collective. 'It's such a variety, from crafts people to fine artists, we've got ceramics and crocheted works and fine art paintings, it's like the whole spectrum of the arts of people that are makers here in Sioux Falls,' Anderson said. 'I'm a painter and a photographer, but what inspires me is the mixing of organic and geometric,' local artist Em Nguyen said. Nguyen is a local artist with a passion for animals. 'I really love surreal paintings but I don't necessarily want to play by the rules of having to be realistic, so I kind of want to morph my own version of that into nature,' Nguyen said. Nguyen is actually the creative force behind the Art Collective, starting the event nearly 15 years ago as a way to workshop with other artists. 'For us to connect, to build off of each other, to feel like 'wow, look here, polish that up', to learn from each other because we were all kind of separated, so it is a great place to connect community-wise creatively,' Nguyen said. The multi-day event is also an opportunity for people to buy or win a piece of art. 'Each artist should have a raffle piece that you can sign up for and have the opportunity to win something really amazing,' Anderson said. The Art Collective is open until 7 Friday night, and continues Saturday from 1 to 7 p.m. at the Washington Pavilion. Admission to the event is free. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.
