History of the Iowa Arts Festival
The Iowa Arts Festival is an award-winning, weekend-long community celebration that has featured hundreds of local and national visual artists. We are proud that over the years, we’ve been able to feature high school and college artists in our Emerging Artist Pavilion. The Iowa Arts Festival has also included music performances, food vendors serving regional and ethnic dishes, and creative, educational activities and entertainment for children. The Iowa Arts Festival has been and continues to be the most anticipated art event of the summer!
