Support

• Support local art (approximately half of show artists from Iowa, 90% from Midwest) by attending!
• Support Orchard Place! All proceeds from a Silent Auction of artwork will benefit Orchard Place, a nationally recognized provider of children’s mental health and juvenile justice services. Orchard Place cares for more than 5,600 of Iowa’s youth and young adults each year. The organization recently won the Des Moines Register’s Aurora Award for its outstanding contribution to the quality of life in Central Iowa. In 2007, thanks to the generosity of over 110 ArtFest artists and to all the wonderful people who made auction purchases, over $5400 was raised to benefit Orchard Place. Our goal this year: $6400!
