New Decade. New Focus. 2020 Year in Review.
The Alliance worked diligently in 2020 to continue our mission and increase our impact within Marshalltown, even amidst a global pandemic. During the pandemic, the arts have been there to support us. We’ve listened to music, read books, made chalk drawings with our kids, danced in our living rooms and watched movies. The arts are working overtime in every community, household, and family, doing what they do best: connecting us, giving us needed moments of joy, and most of all, creating hope.
We believe the arts and creativity are critical to our recovery as we look to the future.
We have big things in store for Marshalltown in 2021 and are excited about the future of the arts in our community.
THANK YOU to all of our artists, partners, and donors for being a continued supporter of the arts!
