PUBLIC INVESTMENT REPORTS

The Iowa Cultural Coalition issues a report annually showing public investment in Iowa’s arts and culture sector. Every Iowa legislator receives a copy of the report listing grants in their district from the Iowa Arts Council for the period of July 1 – June 30. These reports demonstrate that state and federal funding directly benefits Iowans, showing how investments in arts and culture:

  • attracts and retains talent

  • drives economic development

  • builds strong communities

The report is grouped by Iowa’s Senate and House districts and is available below. The report, useful for chambers of commerce, economic development staff, artists, and cultural organizations, demonstrates the broad and significant impact of public investment in arts and culture across the state.

 

Historically, Iowa ranks in the bottom third of state spending on arts and culture. During the pandemic, without federal support many communities across the state would have lost vital arts and culture organizations. The Iowa Cultural Coalition will continue to provide resources and information about efforts to support arts and culture and invite Iowans to join them for the health of our communities and Iowa’s economy.
