Summer of the Arts

April 18, 2023

Hello Lisa,


We loved the warm weather last week and are counting down the days to May 12th when we officially kick off our summer season!


Hopefully you heard about the amazing lineup planned for the Iowa City Jazz Fest June 30-July 2. It's guaranteed to be a fun weekend of live music, food and art. Oh, and the Iowa City fireworks will be on Saturday, July 1st.


Very soon we'll be releasing the line-up for the 40th anniversary Iowa Arts Festival scheduled for June 2-4. Make plans today to experience the sites, sounds and smells of this long-standing festival!


If you enjoy what Summer of the Arts does as a nonprofit charity, please consider making a donation so we can keep bringing you these community-building opportunities.


Thank you!


Lisa J. Barnes, Executive Director
