Join us for a vibrant celebration of local art, creativity, and the trails that connect our community! We’re inviting artists of all levels to donate original work and accepting short films that highlight the beauty, adventure, and spirit of our local trail systems. All proceeds support the Spearfish Trails Coalition, helping to support the development of local trails.

We are bringing the Arts and outdoor community together! There will be raffles, local beer, local art, and a vibrant, creative atmosphere. It’s going to be a night to remember. The films will be screened live during the event and voted on by the audience and the top entries will take home cash prizes and swag! This event is open to all ages and experience levels—whether you're a seasoned filmmaker or just love hitting the trails with a camera, we encourage everyone to enter.
Start dreaming up your submission—we can't wait to see what you create!

Submit your art
We’re calling on creators of all kinds to donate and sell their artwork at accessible prices to help fund and promote the local trail development. Whether you're a student exploring your artistic voice, a professional with pieces that don’t quite fit your usual shows, or a casual doodler—your work can make a difference.
