Sturgis Rally Celebrates Its 80th I’m sure we can all agree that 2020 has been a very strange year.  It was upsetting for us and many others, when the world shut down and worrisome for small towns like ours when we were unsure if we’d be open for summer.  Businesses in The Black Hills have…

What Time Is It?

In 2015, everyone at Jacobs Gallery wanted to explore a different medium to show off Scott’s works in a new way.  We wanted to excite our existing clients with something they never thought we’d try.  That’s when we reached out to a talented Las Vegas-based fine jewelry designer and friend, Steve Soffa to create our very first…
