Art and Wine walk in downtown Sioux Falls
SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO) — Downtown Sioux Falls is showing off its artistic side.
It's a relatively quiet Friday morning as downtown Sioux Falls braces for a busy night with the Spring Art & Wine Walk.

'Art & Wine Walk is an event that downtown Sioux Falls puts on twice a year. We partner local retailers with local artists and we provide wine for the guests to sip and sample,' DTSF Marketing Manager Jeb Cooper said.
The event is free to attend, with a wine punch card available for purchase at many of the 38 participating businesses.
'We generally see the traditional painters, some sculptors, a lot of pottery recently, but there's also live musicians, and there's also some cooking classes,' Cooper said.
'I love getting people into the gallery that don't maybe frequent the arts, but you get to see that little spark,' Rehfelds Modern Fine Art & Framing Gallery Director Alix Kyrie said.
Kyrie is the gallery director at Rehfelds, where they're featuring a sculptor from Colorado and a painter from California, but each is originally from South Dakota. It's just a sampling of what the city has to offer.
'It's a really great time of year for arts. We're celebrating the Levitt announcing their season, SculptureWalk's going up, and we have Art & Wine Walk so it's just a great time for us to celebrate the arts downtown,' Kyrie said.
The Art & Wine Walk also has an outdoor option, a new initiative called Open Streets, and this month it's on Phillips Avenue between 9th and 10th Streets.
'Downtown Sioux Falls is opening sections of Phillips Avenue on the first Friday of every month through May, June, July, and August to really activate to just activate and really bring the community together and to re-envision what streets could be. They're not just for cars but people as well,' Cooper said.
And this month, don't forget the art and wine.
The Art & Wine Walk is Friday from 5 to 8 p.m. in downtown Sioux Falls.
The wine sampling punch cards are available for purchase at 'Open Streets' or participating businesses.
