3rd annual art in the park | 2017

The third annual Art in the Park regional fine art festival was again a great success!

Our gorgeous riverside town hosted 50 professional artists (see the 2017 artist list below) from the Midwest and beyond! The crowd of visitors who ventured to our small town in northeast Iowa were wowed by the art, the live music, the delicious culinary vendors, the town, and the amount of support and involvement shown by our amazing community!

Art in the Park is made possible by all of our wonderful volunteers and generous sponsors!  Thank you again to those of you who supported us this year and in years past! See a list of our proud 2017 sponsors below. We are already looking forward to the fourth annual Art in the Park and hope you’ll mark your calendars for Saturday, August 18th, and Sunday, August 19th, 2018! 

If you would like more information, would like to volunteer, or want to help sponsor Art in the Park 2018, contact us at:

“Hue Hall” was a collaboration between our Art in the Park 2017 intern Ashley Althoff and Fire Farmer owner, Adam Pollock.
