2019 Highlights and Annual Letter
It was another exciting year for the Arts & Culture Alliance and we are looking forward to another strong year in 2020. The Alliance Board of Directors, composed of 11 community leaders, worked to continue our mission and increase our impact within Marshalltown. We believe a vibrant arts and culture environment is critical to enhancing the quality of life and driving economic development, while nurturing a positive view of the community among residents and visitors alike. As a supporter of the arts, we wanted to take this opportunity to share a few highlights from this year with you. Please see our annual letter below!
Together, with your help, we can enrich our community where the arts and culture thrive and our community flourishes. We have big things in store for 2020 and are excited about the future of the arts in our community.

Cultivating a Community of Arts & Culture
The Alliance’s mission is to support and promote arts in the community by cultivating a community of arts and culture. We are passionate about making Marshalltown THE place to live, work and play and it is imperative in doing so to ensure art is embedded into our DNA as a community. The arts in Marshalltown strengthens our economy, drives tourism, sparks creativity and innovation, connects people of all ages and cultures, and provides a channel for our community to create our own unique identity.
