About ArtFest Midwest The Other Art Show
Over 210 artists will be showing. This year approximately 40% are from Iowa and 90% from the MIdwest! ArtFest is offered as an alternative, affordable art show--a complement to the downtown show.
It will be held indoors in the air conditioned Varied Industries Building at the Iowa State Fairgrounds. There will be an expanded "artist demonstration area" in front of the building.
