ENRICHING LIFE THROUGH THE ARTS |
What We DO
|
|
Quad City Arts is an arts advocacy organization that operates visual arts galleries, community events, re-granting programs, an educational residency program presenting multi-disciplinary performing arts, and activates public spaces through a sculpture program and murals. Our programs allow us to serve more than 350,000 people annually in the Quad Cities. |
Visiting Artist SeriesThe Visiting Artist Series offers residencies by world-renowned artists providing informal performances and discussions in schools, workplaces, and human-service agencies. Ten to fifteen performances are presented annually in public concert halls.
The series makes the arts accessible to students K-12 by bringing the performing arts directly to schools and community sites, and providing low-cost opportunities for Quad City area residents to see performances that would otherwise be out of reach. |

Public SCulpture ProgramOur Public Sculpture Program coordinates the selection and display of public sculpture with cities, organizations, and businesses in publicly-accessible locations throughout the Quad Cities. All of the leased sculptures are on view and for sale to anyone with interest in owning them.
