Art Center's ArtSplash is a family-centered art festival of exceptional quality that enriches our region's quality of life by bringing the excitement of the visual arts to our community.

We are thrilled to be hosting the annual ArtSplash Art Festival in late summer this year with extended hours on Saturday into the evening to offer a more relaxed, adult-oriented atmosphere. The hours are Saturday from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. The festival will again be held downtown on the Art Center campus, making use of all of the Art Center facilities - the Atrium and galleries of the Art Center and the studios of the Gilchrist Learning Center. We have exciting things planned and cannot wait for you to join us! Stay tuned to our website as we update with information on the 2025 festival!

ArtSplash is a project of the Sioux City Art Center. Proceeds fund education and exhibition programs and help the Sioux City Art Center remain free to the public.
