Lego Mania
The Museum of Visual Materials is looking to host its first Lego Display but we can’t do it without your help! The museums new Revive program is setup where the displays are provided by the community. This means two things. 1. Your memorabilia and hard work such as a lego display will be shown for a two month time frame. 2. Others will get to enjoy your hard work and creativity as well.
Every two months a new community display will be hosted at the museum. November and December hosted the Hero’s of our community who have served in the war. Starting January 20th and going through the end of February the museum will host a Lego display. Full Lego displays, custom creations, and more. This display is for all ages to show off their building talents. 
Please contact the Museum at 605-271-9500 to display your creations starting January 20th. Entries are still welcome if you don’t get your creations in by or before the 20th. We look forward to displaying your work at the Museum of Visual Materials and make sure to stop down for the viewing for the general public.

Once again the Big Grape has created hype and seems to be one of the biggest events to happen in Sioux Falls each year. The tickets for this extraordinary event sold out weeks before the date and it is all for a good cause. Missy Keiper from the Avera Foundation is in her second year organizing this event and it just seems to be getting better and better. The Museum of Visual Materials is proud to be a part of this grand event because this event helps out our community and the kids in the Sioux Empire. Avera teams up with Republic National Distributing Company to bring Sioux Falls’ best premier wine tasting.
This event is also supported by many amazing sponsors such as JJ’s Wine and Spirits, Luxury Auto Mall, The Gas Stop, Argus Leader, HenkinSchultz, Backyard Broadcasting, Midcontinent, US Bank, KSFY, Evans, Avera Heart Hospital of South Dakota, Johnson Controls, Maguire Iron, Boyee Greenfield Pashby & Welk, and Lamar Outdoor Advertising.
The Big Grape Reserve is one of the longest running wine tastings in Sioux Falls. The wine selections provide wines anywhere from $10 per bottle up to $250 a bottle.
