Last Friday (a week ago) exhibits director, Steven Larson, of the Horse Barn Arts Center was ‘terminated’ from the Sioux Empire Arts Council, the organization that was eaten up by the money pit called the Washington Pavilion. But this wasn’t a fine farewell. Before they fired Steve, they asked him to move everything over to the Pavilion the day before, then they canned him the next day. On top of that, they had the gall to ask him this week how to do some simple ass accounting stuff for SEAC. The Pavilion really has no shame. This of course is no surprise, the Pavilion’s attempt all along was to dismantle SEAC, and that will come in the near future, no doubt. But deception comes in baby steps yah know.
But it gets better, not too long ago I posted about how the Pavilion doesn’t post contact info, and guess what, like a rainbow out of the sky, the info appears.
There is way to many secrets in this place, and if they were a private organization, I would not give a fuck. But since they take taxpayer money, something needs to be done. I have often suggested a ‘clean slate’ approach. Time will only tell, but I can guarantee, the more things change, the more they stay the same.
