The not-for-profit Des Moines Art Center engages diverse local and international audiences with the art of today through its museum and school, adding to the cultural record through collections and programs.
The Faulconer Gallery at Grinnell College opened to the campus and the public on September 25, 1999. It mounts exhibitions of regional, national, and international art throughout the year, as well as recent work by members of the Grinnell College art faculty and, in May, the annual Student Art Salon.
