Art in Public Places was launched in 2019 as a pilot program in partnership with the
Marshalltown Municipal Airport. We are excited for its official roll out in the Spring of 2020,
including 3 local businesses, as a bi-annual rotating art program in Marshalltown, Iowa for Marshall County Artists.
The program was created to partner with local businesses to support, amplify and showcase our talented local artists while enhancing the interior of our local spaces with original artwork.
