Art Farm Iowa invites the public to an unforgettable weekend of art, music, and celebration with its ARTFARMAGANZA! Arts Festival taking place Friday, July 4th through Sunday, July 6th, 2025. The festival will bring together internationally acclaimed felt artist Lucy Sparrow, celebrated singer-songwriter Dan Bern, and Australian folk-noir musician Nigel Wearne for a one-of-a-kind event in the heart of the Iowa countryside.

“GAZE: A Study in Presence” is an evocative journey into the space between the observer and the observed, bringing together master photographers whose portraits and view of people capture the soul in stillness. From Tom Millea’s warm-toned platinum portraits to Jock Sturges’ intimate black-and-white explorations of youth and ritual; from Steve McCurry’s world-renowned, color drenched studies of humanity to Jeremy Kost’s richly layered emotionally charged tableaux ̶  each image invites you to linger in a moment, to meet a gaze that pivots time itself.

Art Farm Iowa is proud to announce a summer celebration of music and visual art with acclaimed singer-songwriter and painter Dan Bern, who will showcase his original paintings in an exclusive exhibition running from July 4 through August 31, 2025.

Art Farm Iowa has acquired the work “To Perceive Together” from Arizona artist Janel Garza. The 18’ x 6’ work will be a feature work at Art Farm Iowa. The work was developed to be a mobile mural and was completed for the 11th annual Art d’Core Gala, hosted by Artlink at The Phoenix Art Museum. Garza collaborated with the visionary fashion designer Ruby Farias who developed complementary fashions.

Art Farm Iowa memberships are available for 2025. Sign up to be part of the magic!
