USD Department of Art Instructor Hosted Arts and Health Program at Mike Durfee State Prison
Ariadne Albright, an arts in health adjunct instructor in the University of South Dakota Department of Art, co-directed an arts and health program at the Mike Durfee State Prison in Springfield.
The program, I Believe II / The South Dakota Prison Project, was led by Albright and Suzanne Costello, director of the Stuart Pimsler Dance & Theatre Company. It was a sequel to the successful 2022-2023 initiative at the South Dakota State’s Men’s Penitentiary in Sioux Falls.
Funded by a South Dakota Department of Health Innovation Grant, the intensive two-week residency included four hours of daily workshops in visual arts, writing, movement and theater, exploring personal beliefs and fostering self-expression. The project culminated in an art exhibit and performance.
“The goals of this innovative program are to positively impact barriers prevalent in carceral settings, promote mental wellness through creative expression and provide tools for personal growth,” Albright said. “Further, this initiative seeks to foster connections and empathy among this community, impacting greater prison culture.”
The I Believe I & II projects extend beyond the prisons and into the community. The artwork created during the residencies will be showcased in a touring art exhibit, Arts & Incarceration, to museums and galleries across South Dakota and Minnesota from 2024-2026. These exhibitions will include gallery talks to facilitate dialogue and understanding for audiences outside the prisons.

SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO) — Vermillion guard Taylor Reuvers is staying home as the junior announced her commitment to USD via X on Tuesday.
Reuvers earned first team All-State honors as a sophomore, averaging 27.8 points, 6.8 rebounds, and 4.7 assists per game. The 2028 graduate led her squad to a 13-9 record for the 2025-26 season.
Oklahoma didn’t suffer any strong wind damage this week, but wind farms in South Dakota certainly did.
Several wind turbines were toppled by the 130 MPH winds that hit the central part of the state Monday morning. They were described as straight line winds and not tornadoes. But the winds compared to those recorded in some tornadoes.
The 131-mph wind was recorded at Holabird in Hyde County at 6:15 a.m. local time.
A picture of the extensive damage showed at least 7 of the wind towers were bent over by the powerful Mother Nature.
According to a report by Energy News Beat, storm chaser Jakob McMillin documented the scene in a widely shared post on X (formerly Twitter), showing multiple wind turbine towers collapsed or heavily damaged, with blades and structural debris scattered across the prairie. In replies to his post, McMillin stated he observed “over 20” turbines destroyed or critically damaged.
The Affected Wind Farm
The damaged facility is the South Dakota Wind Energy Center (also known as the Highmore Wind Energy Project or Highmore Wind Farm), located approximately 10 miles south of Highmore.
- Number of turbines: 27
- Turbine model: GE Vernova 1.5s (1.5 MW each)
- Total nameplate capacity: 40.5 MW
- Commissioning year: 2003 (South Dakota’s first major wind farm)
- Owner/Operator: NextEra Energy Resources (formerly FPL Energy)
- Power purchaser: Basin Electric Power Cooperative
