Welcome to the Ames Community Arts Council
Artists and supporters of the arts, non-profit organizations and businesses have come together as the Ames Community Arts Council since 1976. We are dedicated to building a sense of community and helping artists succeed. We believe that participating in the arts--as audience members, musicians, actors, dancers, writers, makers, volunteers, and more--enriches our lives and our community.
The 2023 Ames Artists’ Studio Tour will be held on Sat., Sept. 30 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Sun., Oct. 1 from noon - 4 p.m. During this free, self-guided tour, patrons may choose to visit any number of the fourteen (14) participating studios and discover the original art – paintings, furniture, jewelry, ceramics, and so much more – created by Ames area artists in their studios and workspaces. Visit the artists in any order you please. Find more here. |
