Traveling Art Exhibit Across Iowa
The Free Art Exhibit Will Be Showcased at Five Galleries and Museums Across the State
DES MOINES, IOWA (July 30, 2021) —Iowa Artists announces the launch of its 50th Anniversary Reboot 2.021 Traveling Art Exhibit, which will be showcased at five galleries and museums in Iowa. The traveling exhibit will be on display across the state from Aug. 3, 2021, through Feb. 26, 2022.
The exhibit will be available to the public for free at the following locations throughout the year:
Select exhibit pieces will be available for purchase during the tour.
Due to COVID-19, Iowa Artists was forced to cancel many of its regional shows, workshops and other events in 2020. Iowa Artists’ 50th Anniversary Reboot 2.021 will be its first in-person exhibit open to the public since the start of the pandemic.
Since March 2020, Iowa Artists has steadily gained new members as many Iowans have turned to at-home hobbies to fill their time when many non-essential businesses were temporarily closed due to the virus. To connect with members during the pandemic, Iowa Artists turned to virtual events including online art shows, virtual meet-and-greets and its private Iowa Artists Artworks Facebook group. The Iowa Artists’ 50th Anniversary Reboot 2.021 Traveling Art Exhibit is a culmination of its efforts to keep Iowa artists creating during the pandemic and connecting with newly reopened art galleries across Iowa.
