Arts Fest - June 6-7, 2026

TURN ART INTO IMPACT AT THE 2026 IOWA ARTS FESTIVAL!

We are proud to partner with Summer of the Arts again this year. We’ll be collecting meaningful donations of artwork during the Iowa Arts Festival weekend. Help provide comfort and beauty to families in our community who are exiting homelessness, domestic violence, or other crises.

How can you help?
- Artists: Donate a piece of wall or functional art (e.g., bowls, cutting boards).
- Festival-goers: Buy a piece from your favorite artist and donate it at the Houses into Homes booth!

Your donated art will be thoughtfully matched with the style and preferences of families as their new homes are prepared — turning a space into a sanctuary.

- Visit the Houses into Homes booth during Art Fair hours (Saturday 10 AM - 7 PM & Sunday 10 AM - 4 PM) to drop off your donation and pick up a receipt for tax purposes.
- You’ll also have the opportunity to learn more about HiH’s mission and ongoing community impact.

Let’s celebrate the power of creativity, generosity, and local collaboration.

Volunteer at the Houses into Homes Arts Fest booth!
