Downtown is the place to be this weekend if you're looking to embrace your creative side and appreciate some fine art. The Summer Gallery walk is tomorrow with 20+ shops and galleries curating works of art from local artists. Enjoy a self-guided tour and chance to win a $50 gift card. Maps can be picked up at any location.

For the first time, the @uistanleymuseum will be joining the Gallery Walk! Take an early stop from 4:00 - 6:00 p.m. and enjoy the museum's recent acquisition of Willie Cole’s Two-Faced Blues along with music from the Blake Shaw Duo.

For more artistic fun, make sure to visit @summerofthearts’s 40th Annual Iowa Arts Festival. The weekend-long celebration will feature 100 local and national artists, stages with live music, food vendors, and more. Admission is free to all of the events, so don't miss out on this opportunity to celebrate art, culture, and community.

To fill this role, the ICDD Executive Committee & Board of Directors voted today by unanimous vote to appoint Betsy Potter as the organization's next Executive Director. Potter's experience in the Director of Creative Services and the assistant ED roles that included managing District communications, marketing campaigns, retail programs, overseeing events like the Downtown Block Party and developing public art initiatives.
