Description

The Charles City Arts Center is honored to host the Iowa Arts Council's Regional Arts Forum. "The Iowa Arts Council is hosting seven Regional Arts Forums across Iowa this February and March 2025. These in-person events will provide an opportunity for local artists, arts and civic leaders, and community members to gather and discuss opportunities for strengthening arts and culture in their region and across the state. This year’s Forums align with the Iowa Arts Caucus, which the Iowa Arts Council hosts every four years. The purpose of the caucus and regional conferences is to identify opportunities and review possible changes related to programs that support arts and cultural enhancement in our state. Participants will make recommendations to the Arts Council, the Iowa Economic Development Authority (IEDA) and the General Assembly regarding funding allocations and priorities for arts and cultural enhancement in our state. Forums are free and open to the public. Registration for the event is highly encouraged. "
