The Second Annual West Iowa Art Tour is Saturday, April 18, 2026, 10am-4pm. The Tour will give you a look behind the curtain of artist studios, the opportunity to talk with artists about their histories and processes, and to experience finished work up close and in person. Be sure to follow along on Facebook where we are featuring individual artists, and use our map to see all there is to see.

Iowa has a wealth of creativitive people, and in late 2024 a chance meeting happened with three artists from Crawford and Carroll counties (at an honest-to-goodness live art show in Denison, Iowa.) This was the catalyst for the first ever Western Iowa Art Studios Tour which took place in April 2025, with individual studios and venues averaging nearly 90 visitors each.

We look forward to seeing you this year, and thank you for being an arts patron!
