The creator of this site wishes to dedicate this work to her mother who inadvertently got her started in painting and the overall creative process which has led to many pursuits and joys in life. Thanks to my mom,

In the beautiful Black Hills of South Dakota: BHADA is an active chapter of Society of Decorative Painting (SDP) meeting the third Saturday of each month, 9:30 a.m. Monthly meetings are at The Journey Museum, 222 New York, Rapid City, SD. The July meeting is held in Spearfish, SD at 1:30 p.m. so members can attend the Festival in the Park in Spearfish.

Each meeting features a painting activity to either polish our existing skills or introduce a new skill to members. Visitors are most welcome.

Our education fund raiser is centered around hand-painted greeting cards sold throughout the Hills including at the Journey Museum Gift Shop. These funds are used to provide the Chapter with painting education opportunities.

BHADA has chosen the International Memory Box Program as its community outreach project.

Membership in SDP is required and BHADA membership is $15.00 per year. National membership dues is $40.00.

A monthly newsletter is mailed or e-mailed to each member and posted on this web site.
