Iowa Department of Cultural Affairs
The Iowa Department of Cultural Affairs empowers Iowans to build and sustain culturally vibrant communities by connecting to the people, places and points of pride that define our state. Through its divisions — the Iowa Arts Council; the State Historical Society of Iowa and State Historic Preservation Office; and Produce Iowa, the state office of film and media production — the department helps Iowans use art, history, film and culture to boost the creative economy and make Iowa an attractive place to visit, live, work and play.
The Iowa Department of Cultural Affairs offers many grant funding opportunities to help strengthen Iowa’s arts, culture, and creative sector and the humanities.
