Emerging Iowa Artists Program
Sponsored by:
The Des Moines Arts Festival features a unique opportunity for visual artists who are Iowa residents and currently enrolled in an institution of higher education. The Emerging Iowa Artist Program, sponsored by Principal Financial Group, offers new artists the opportunity to showcase their talent at one of the nation's most decorated arts festivals.
The Emerging Iowa Artist Program is a stand-alone component of the Arts Festival, without any cost to the artist for submitting an application or exhibiting artwork.
Student applicants are required to complete an application just like those of the professional artists. The Festival jury will select the emerging artists separately from the Festival artists. And in June, the Awards Jury will jury all participating artists and award an emerging artist a $1,000 Best of Show Award for the Best Student Artist.
Each year the Des Moines Arts Festival attracts over 200,000 patrons. We are excited to offer the public this opportunity to discover Iowa's up-and-coming young talent.
