It was a record year for the Arts & Culture Alliance with the execution of over 20 artistic projects and cultural experiences in Marshalltown. As the world slowly re-opened and began coming back together, we were busy collaborating with our local and statewide partners to create a vibrant community! If you drive around town, you will quickly see evidence of the hard work by numerous local, regional, and national artists.
We believe a vibrant arts and culture environment is critical to enhancing the quality of life and driving economic development, while cultivating community pride, tourism, and beautification. We have BIG things in store for Marshalltown in 2022 and we are enthusiastic about the future of creative community development.
Together, with your support, we can create opportunities for arts and culture to thrive and our community to flourish. Thank you for being a supporter of the arts!
Sincerely,
Amber Danielson, Executive Director

"It has been such an honor and an inspiration to work with, and learn from, the Marshall County Arts & Culture Alliance. This group and community could be poster children for resiliency, as they have used art to strengthen their community while navigating a devastating tornado, pandemic, and derecho during the past two years. Known for their annual Arts Festival, the Alliance has shifted its resources and focus into a new direction of serving as a community bridge builder through inclusive creative projects and local partnerships, such as the Art in Public Places Program and the Marshalltown Mural Program. From any measure, achieving this during a normal year would be an accomplishment. I can only imagine that the hope and goodwill fostered by these consistent community art projects is an antidote to the turmoil fear and division that surrounds us. As an Iowa artist and a community arts specialist, I can tell you that the Arts & Culture Alliance and Marshalltown is a constant jolt of positivity and encouragement that art matters in our communities."
