Inner Artist

I'm still here! Sorry, I haven't held any classes or open studios for a while. I've been a little busy as Superintendent of Fine Arts at the Iowa State Fair😁. Plus, everyone is enjoying summer, vacations and outdoor activities. Inner Artist will get back on track eventually. You are always welcome to schedule time in the studio with a few friends, if you need to let your inner artist out! 🎨 Hope to see you at the fair!

It all starts Thursday!!! Come see the Fine Arts Exhibit! Many hours were spent preparing this show and all the other exhibits throughout the Fair. It’s a labor of love! #fairspirit #iowastatefair #iowastatefair2026 #iowastatefairfineartcompetition

There is no First Friday this week. The building will be closed to the public on Saturday as well.

Enjoy your weekend! ☀️

We will see you on August 7 for Experimental and Innovative!

Nostalgia exhibitions are on view until July 29th. You can check them out and see artists at work during our public building hours 10-4pm Tuesday through Saturday, which will resume Tuesday, July 7th.

Anyone who knows me knows how much I love the 80’s! And if you do too, keep an eye out for this one OR get your people together and book a time to paint!

For a private birthday party, the girls wanted a "Starbucks" themed painting because they like the pink drinks and cake pops😁

Have any celebrations or gatherings coming up? Add painting with your guests to the agenda. Might be fun!

Birthdays, showers, family reunions or any get together is a good reason to get creative, too🎨
