Arts in Education Program

Need to talk it through?

In addition to the resources listed below, Iowa Arts Council is ready and willing to consult with you or your organization about arts education ideas, plans, and opportunities. 

Assistance can range from a simple email or phone conversation, to more in-depth consulting.  Reimbursement for travel (at state rates) or staff time (at $25/hour) may be requested for consultations that require substantial time; however we make every effort to keep such costs to a minimum.
