the smallest gallery you'll ever get lost in ...

Turn Back Time -  Simple on the outside, spectacular on the inside!  Prairie Star Gallery is filled with centuries-old art forms displayed in a beautiful century-old building.  It's located in the heart of downtown Sioux Falls, on Phillips Ave. It's a gorgeous place, with one-of-a-kind art and a relaxing ambiance.  You'll agree with the 10,000 customers who preceded you --  the gallery and its art are fabulous!

The exceptional variety and originality of our art distinguishes Prairie Star Gallery from other galleries. Nearly all art is from the U.S.; a small percentage is created by Canadian Iroquois.  It is Indigenous handmade, authentic, and high quality.  The  750 artists we have represented are predominately from Northern Plains tribes. One might equate 'Northern Plains' to 'Sioux'.  The term Sioux is rich with history, but it's imprecise like 'European'.  Instead think Oglala, Rosebud, Cheyenne River, or Yanktoni.  The artists' tribal traditions influence their art and the stories they tell through their sculpture, paintings, bead and quill work, drums - everything.  We also represent Navajo, Santo Domingo, Blackfeet, Ojibwa (Chippewa, Anishinaabe), Assiniboine, Three Affiliated Tribes of Ft. Berthold, and many others.

No matter the artists' tribe or band, you'll find our art is incomparable.  We've been told by people who have visited galleries all over the U.S. that ours is the finest gallery of Indigenous art, supported by the most-knowledgeable and helpful staff.

Preserve the Past -  Purchase a Work of Art and Own a Piece of History.

Stop in, and put the world on pause.  Experience a time unimaginable by today's technological standards: 125 years ago the telephone had just been invented; automobiles still were on the horizon; and, television and cell phones weren't even science fiction.  Hard to believe?  Not for our artists. 

Our art originates from a time long before the railroad and telegraph, when everything was hand-crafted and everyone was an artisan to some extent.  If you are someone who realizes those days are gone and art such as this is rare and becoming even more so, you owe it to yourself to visit our gallery and appreciate truly remarkable art.

Promote Timeless Art -   We work hard to purchase and promote only the highest-quality Indigenous art from artists we know.  But ultimately only you can enable artists to continue the traditions of their ancestors, through purchase of their art.  We appreciate your patronage and continued support of their artistic and historical endeavors.

You who support the gallery come from all 50 states and over 50 countries. Most importantly, you return again and again.  A major factor in your loyalty may be the consistent quality of our absolutely authentic art.  Another may be the information we're able to provide about the artists, their art, and the cultures we represent. 

One couple has contributed cash Christmas gifts for needy artists for each of the past three years, making a Christmas meal possible or allowing parents to purchase a gift for their children.  This couple's generosity represents a personal commitment to preserving the past and promoting the future and is deeply appreciated by all.
