What an inspiring day in the clouds ⛅️ THANK YOU for celebrating the beauty of community connection and creation at Gallery in the Skywalk Art Festival 2024!

We wouldn't have been able to make this happen without the hard work from some absolutely incredible community artists, organizers, and students who showed up each and every week, gave their input, helped paint this year's mural, created the Comic Strip Storywalk, made custom coloring pages, helped out during the festival, and SO much more. You all are absolutely amazing. To say we're grateful is a total understatement. THANK YOU.

THANK YOU to our community partners - Sioux City Career Academy, Sioux City Public Library, Sioux City Art Center, GuitaRx Upcycled Instruments, Focus & Framed: Portrait Studio & Art Gallery, Gallery 103, 3 Rivers Art Gallery, Art SUX Gallery, Hardline Coffee Co., SweetWater Cafe, Vangarde Arts, Ho-Chunk Centre, and Downtown Partners.
