This year at our member’s celebration we will be having a silent auction featuring jewelry, prints, ceramics, original art work and more. While you must be a member to exhibit work, our member’s celebration is free and open to the public. Drinks and appetizers will be served. We look forward to seeing you there!

“This is a wonderful exhibit that promotes the arts in our community.  It gives art lovers a chance to share their
love of art with the community.  Often
art lovers are not necessarily art creators. This is the perfect exhibit for
all people in the community to not only show their art collection, but to see
how active the visual arts are in Iowa.”

-Christina Catron- Assistant Director


Support for Members Art Collection has been provided by the Department Of Cultural
