The Sioux City Art Center is a must-see for anyone living in or visiting Siouxland who likes art, and their new exhibit Pasture to Present elevates it even further. The short version is that it's a really nicely done exhibit that you should go see. The long version is: in conjunction with the re-installation of the newly restored Grant Wood Corn Room, the Sioux City Art Center is displaying a variety of other works of American Regionalism by the 20th century masters of that movement, plus more modern works that touch on rural themes.

Avast mateys! Ye be invited to the social event of the season: The Sioux City Art Center is hosting Pirates' Picnic for kids on Saturday, March 22nd, 2025, from 11am to 12:30pm, and I'm so excited! In 2023, the art center tested out the concept of hosting a kids' event re-using the decor from their elaborate fundraising gala the night before with an Alice in Wonderland themed tea party, and it was a huge success, tickets sold out and attendees had a blast.
