“Drowning in Dirt” traveling exhibit Feb 2-April 30 at Mead Museum

Traveling Exhibit Opening at Mead Museum
Feb 2 through April 30
Drowning in Dirt:
Joseph Hutton and the Dustbowl
A soil scientist’s quest to save the farmer by preserving the land
Joseph Hutton, one of the first soil scientists of South Dakota, brought a new concept to the state: not all soil was the same. And different soils required different farming practices in order to be sustainable.
When Hutton arrived at South Dakota State College of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts (now South Dakota State University) in 1911, he studied the negative effects of farming practices of the day which depleted the soil nutrients and caused erosion.
Hutton’s views on soils were a contradiction to common knowledge at the time, and he predicted the dust Bowl 20 years before it happened!
This exhibit utilizes Hutton’s photography, poetry, speeches, and research notes to illustrate the devastation the drought had on farmers of the 1920s and 1930s in South Dakota through the eyes of a soil scientist.
The exhibit will feature Yankton County Artifacts from the 1930s.
“Drowning in Dirt” traveling exhibit was created in 2022 by the South Dakota Agricultural Museum of Brookings in partnership with the SD Humanities Council.
The Mead Museum is open Monday-Saturday noon to 4pm. Admission is $10 for adults, $8 for 65+ and $5 for youth. Mead Museum members are free.

National Music Museum
414 E. Clark St
Vermillion, SD
Join us for an inspiring noon-hour concert with Argentinean-American pianist Dr. Marcelo Lian, performing on the National Music Museum’s beautifully restored Mason & Hamlin grand piano (NMM 15722). Known for its rich, resonant tone and exceptional craftsmanship, this historic instrument provides the perfect canvas for Lian’s expressive and virtuosic artistry.
A sought-after performer, clinician, and adjudicator, Dr. Lian has earned first prizes in multiple piano competitions and received prestigious scholarships in both Argentina and the United States. His diverse performance career includes solo recitals at the Teatro Colón during the Martha Argerich Festival, a celebrated recital in California on Vladimir Horowitz’s legendary piano, and his Carnegie Weill Hall debut supported by his longtime mentor Dr. Ana Maria Trenchi Bottazzi. He has also appeared as soloist with orchestras under esteemed conductors including Edgardo Cattaruzzi, Mariano Chiacchiarini, Kenneth Meints, and Rob Salistean.
Dr. Lian completed his Doctoral Degree in Piano Performance at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln and has served as Artist-in-Residence or Visiting Artist at institutions across the country, including Linfield College, Kansas State University, Nyack College, New England Conservatory, Southwest Baptist University, and more. In 2021, he became an American citizen in recognition of his artistic and academic accomplishments.
His work as founder of the Pianists of the Americas Festival, contributions to Clavier Companion on teaching strategies, and extensive masterclass engagements underscore his passion for education and artistic collaboration. Dr. Lian continues to teach and perform internationally, with recent engagements in Puerto Rico, Argentina, Italy, France, and throughout Europe. His 2022 solo recital at Carnegie Weill Hall and his appearance in Who’s Who in America further highlight his artistic impact. His latest album, Eredita, released by Avant Records, has been postulated for the Gardel Awards.
Don’t miss this dynamic performance bringing together a distinguished artist and one of the NMM’s finest historic pianos.
Free with admission.
