NOW ON EXHIBIT

"Prairie Art Exhibit Indoors"

Developed as a way to draw attention to the Henry A. Wallace Country Life Center’s 9 acres of restored prairie, the Prairie Art Exhibit and Festival held in 2019 included paintings of wildflowers by artists of all ages and skill levels from central and southwest Iowa. More than 80 paintings were displayed in the prairie. The youngest artist was 3 years old and the oldest 79. A one-day festival with prairie walks, educational displays and art activities kicked off the event.

This exhibit features many of the paintings that were displayed on the prairie, photographs of the displays, and educational information about prairies.

The Lobby Gallery is FREE and open to the public Thursday-Saturday noon - 3 p.m. ENTER THROUGH ED & EVA'S.

Upcoming Events

Thursday, June 6, 7 p.m. - An evening with Austin Frerick: Restoring the balance of power in the American food system. As food prices soar, farmers can’t sell their livestock, grain prices tank, and food processing workers suffer low wages and horrible working conditions, Iowan Austin Frerick will help us understand what on earth has happened in the American food system and how we got to where we are. Austin Frerick is a native Iowan and currently the Deputy Director of the Thurman Arnold Project at Yale University. His research focuses on competition policy and anti-trust enforcement. He is currently doing research and writing a book that argues for restoring the balance of power in the American food system in favor of farmers, workers, small businesses, and communities.
