Sioux Area Metro’s first
ART ON THE MOVE contest
Sioux Area Metro (SAM) and Via are excited to announce the winners of Sioux Falls’ first-ever Art Bus contest.
The four selected winning designs are:
Native Flowers of South Dakota by Kenzie Shubert

Sioux Falls-based Kenzie Shubert is a UX/UI Designer and co-director of Untitled.10, a Sioux Falls visual arts organization. “I think it is very important for our community to be mindful of species of flowers and plants that are native to our state to preserve our ecosystems; this piece serves as a visual reminder of this sentiment,” she said.
Let’s Drive Around Town by Tom Bates

Tom Bates is a Sioux Falls-based graphic designer. “The artwork is a visual puzzle that invites people to discover and celebrate the best of Sioux Falls. Together, these pieces [of the design] show that every part of Sioux Falls is vital. The bus becomes the literal vehicle that connects these places, carrying that shared energy throughout the community,” he said.
