A GALLERY FOR ART LOVERS TO EXPERIENCE THE BEST IOWA ARTISTS HAVE TO OFFER

Celebrating its 44th year in 2024, the Polk County Heritage Gallery has a rich history of providing opportunities to Iowa artists. Housed in the 1908 Beaux Arts Post Office, now part of the Polk County Administrative Building, the Gallery is home to two competitive juried exhibits per year—in addition to a variety of shows by local artists.

A SUSTAINABLE, NONPROFIT GALLERY

The Gallery is 100% sustainable and fueled by hundreds of volunteer hours every year. Supporters work to keep our doors open, manage exhibitions, and hang work. Over 1,300 volunteer hours in the Gallery and 150 estimated volunteer hours managing submissions and hanging shows.

We sponsor opportunities year-around for Iowa artists to feature their work, including two juried exhibits, typically in the spring and fall. Follow us on Instagram and Facebook for updates about upcoming shows and submission opportunities.
