Flutter Productions First-of-its-Kind All-Ability Arts Evaluation
Flutter Productions is pleased to announce the completion of a three-year evaluation, conducted in partnership
with the University of South Dakota School of Medicine and Center for Disabilities. The evaluation looked at
the impact of arts involving people with disabilities on community members, audience members, volunteers,
staff, and the performers with disabilities. The evaluation, which included facilitated conversations with casts
and audiences, revealed eight outcomes from all-ability performing arts experiences and opportunities. These
included but were not limited to, helping people with disabilities find their voice; changing expectations and
perceptions about abilities and differences; creating leadership
opportunities; and positive ripple effects in the community, such

The evaluation was made possible in major part by a 2017 Building

endeavor. Flutter Productions was one of twenty-nine projects in

Sheryl Finch, Artist of the Year .
. . Again!
January 2020, Sheryl Finch was crowned the Suzie
Cappa Art Center’s Artist of the Year.
Three months later, our world completely changed and
Suzie Cappa closed their doors to the public. This year, in
light of the non-event that was 2020, Suzie Cappa chose
to extend Sheryl’s recognition through 2021.
“Sheryl is always willing to challenge herself and has
learned many new art techniques,” said Carla Julius, Studio Manager for
the Suzie Cappa Art Center, in an interview last year. “She is known for
her paintings but she is always willing to try something new.”
Although Suzie Cappa remains closed to the public, Sheryl’s latest work
will be featured on the Suzie Cappa social media pages as well as their
new eBay site (see page 5 for more details on how you can buy Suzie
Cappa art on eBay!). Congratulations, Sheryl . . . again!
COMMUNITY LIFE
Special Olympics Caravan Brings Holiday Cheer
Like other organizations, when the pandemic meant that Special Olympics South
Dakota had to cancel all of its 2020 events, it pivoted and hosted a “Holiday
Caravan” for Special Olympic athletes in 11 communities across South Dakota.
Rapid City, in partnership with Black Hills Works, was the Holiday Caravan’s first, and not surprisingly, best-
attended stop! Held behind the Learning Institute building, Black Hill Works staff decorated the driving “loop”
with beautiful holiday lights for the more than 130 Special Olympians who participated to enjoy while they
received gifts from the safety of their cars. Santa and his helpers, including Deputy Ballard and other members of
the Pennington County Sheriff’s office, handed out gifts of tumblers, t-shirts and more.
The Rapid City Storm is among the largest teams in the state, with over 200 Black Hills Works participants. The
Storm also encourages community involvement and inclusion through its participation in Unified Sports. The
Unified division allows Special Olympians to compete side-by-side on the field with community volunteers who
perform the role of player/coach.
The Holiday Caravan provided a unique opportunity for athletes to reconnect with each other, while remaining
safe and socially-distanced. Thanks to everyone that helped make this event outstanding!

Suzie Cappa Artists
Brighten the Walls
of the Community
Health Center
For three consecutive years, Black Hills Works has partnered
with the Community Health Center of the Black Hills
(CHCBH) to bring Suzie Cappa Art Center artwork to
Community Health’s patients and employees.
The Suzie Cappa Art Center (SCAC) provides a supportive, inspiring environment where talented
artists with disabilities create, exhibit, and sell their work to the community.
CHCBH has been providing medical and dental care to people in our community since 1992. Many
of the people supported by Black Hills Works have received exceptional health care through CHCBH.
So, when CHCBH moved into a larger building and had lots of walls to decorate, there was a natural
connection.
“This has been a great partnership,” said Tim Trithart, CEO of the CHCBH, about his organization’s
collaboration with Suzie Cappa artists. “The art is amazing and the artists deserve having their work featured
so prominently in a public space.”
In addition to its main location, CHCBH will also be adding Suzie Cappa Art Center art to its walls in its new
satellite clinic at the OneHeart campus in Rapid City.
CHCBH’s purchase of artwork by Suzie Cappa artists with HOW TO BUY ART:*

When Suzie Cappa closed their doors to the public last March because of COVID-19, the question
became “What now?”
After research and many conversations, the team decided to launch its first eBay site. On the Suzie
Cappa eBay page, you will find a variety of pieces of art by a wide variety of Suzie Cappa artists.
Shipping is included in the price, but a local pickup option is available for those in the Rapid City area.
In addition, brand new pieces can be found on the Suzie Cappa social media pages:
