The Fallout Creative Community announces The Fallout Art & Music Party Tour.  The tour will bring "inclusive and accessible celebrations of creativity" that include "Hands On" art stations, live music, film and kids activities to several South Dakota locations.



The Fallout is a nonprofit organization located in Aberdeen SD that has been hosting art and music parties for many years.  In October of 2009 they started holding these parties on a weekly basis.

These parties culminated in an Art & Music Festival in September of 2010 that had a diverse gathering of over 1000 people with a variety of abilities who produced hundreds of works of art at "creation stations" and over 550 people were served free meals. Over 30 musical acts and dozens of games, activities and performances were enjoyed by people of all ages.  This festival, now annual, saw an increase in attendance at its 2011 event.
The Fallout will take this popular festival and trim it down to fit in a trailer and tour to several South Dakota communities.  The tour is sponsored mainly by a grant from the SD Council on Developmental Disabilities and it's purpose is to promote arts communities that are inclusive to all people including people with disabilities.  The tour will visit Vermillion, Sioux Falls, Watertown, Pierre, Rapid City, Spearfish and Chamberlain.
The kickoff for the tour will be the Fallout's Art & Bicycle Spectacle in Aberdeen on May 25th - 27th.  This will be a festival with all of the regular hands-on art, live music and kids activities but it will have "bicycles" as it's theme.  Aberdeen ReCycle will do free tune-ups, South Dakota Bicycle Coalition will be giving away free helmets and water bottles and the Police Department will be offering free bike registration.  There will be a Bike themed Art show, bike games, mini-Tennis, creative workshops, a sculpture competition and much more.  This festival is also an annual event in its 6th year.
The Fallout formed organically out of a group of creative people who intentionally developed community and worked collaboratively over the past 10 years.  It has a diverse membership of people working together on music, art, film, performance art, writing, photography and many other creative endeavors.
The Fallout's mission is to be a visible and vibrant arts community that embraces people of all abilities to live creatively together.  The mission includes reaching out to and including people with developmental disabilities in the community.  They were encouraged to go to other SD towns to demonstrate creative parties and tell the Fallout's story to "plant seeds" of inclusive community.
