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

Turn Back Time -  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 spectacular art and wonderful ambiance.  We think 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 is from the U.S.; a small percentage is created by Canadian Iroquois.  It is Indigenous handmade, authentic, and high quality.  The  500 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, Sisseton, Santee, or Yanktoni.  The artists' tribal traditions influence their art and the stories they tell through their sculpture, paintings, bead and quill work, drums - everything.

No matter the artists' tribe or band, you'll find our art to be incomparable.    We've been told we have the finest gallery of Indigenous art, and the most-knowledgeable staff, by people who have visited galleries in all 50 states.

Preserve the Past -  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?  Perhaps, but it's also intriguing.  Our art comes from a time before the railroad and telegraph, when everything was hand-crafted and everyone was an artisan to some extent.  If you are one of those persons who realizes those days are gone, and that this art is rare and becoming even more so, then you owe it to yourself to visit our gallery.

Our customers come from all 50 states and over 50 countries. Most importantly, they return again and again.  We depend on new customers becoming old friends.   A major factor in their loyalty is the consistent quality of our absolutely authentic art.  Another is the helpful knowledge we're able to provide about the artists, the art, and the cultures we represent. 

Promote Timeless Art - We're not a museum, although we may look like one.  We will thrive or survive only to the extent you appreciate and purchase our artists' original creations.  You can help promote Indigenous art in America!
