Program areas at Des Moines Art Center
The Art Center's exhibitions in 2022 provided visitors new perspectives on art and created space for dialogue. Opportunities to interact with visiting artists and the exhibitions abounded, visitors could share memories through postcards and online galleries, attend lectures and panels with artists involved in major exhibitions, and take prints and gallery guides home to remember the impact of their visit. See Schedule O for continuation.
Our efforts include operating a public Art school, engaging in partnerships with numerous social and human service organizations, offering on- and off-site school enrichment curricula, creating opportunities for child-centered learning and family engagement. The Art Center's studio education program encompasses all types of Art "making" through both tuition-based Art classes and free Art programming through collaborating organizations.
The Art Center's new and adapted programs and activities supplied a sense of fun in exhibitions, provided space for reflection and exploration, and offered new opportunities to connect with each other. In 2022, we enacted that vision through new programs that uplift diverse voices. More than 269,000 visitors were welcomed to the museum and Pappajohn Sculpture Park. See Schedule O for continuation.
