We're heading to The Collective in Elkader, IA today!

We will be part of the Artist's Spotlight Exhibit for the month of September.

Stop in for First Fridays, have some snacks and drinks, and see us in person.

That's the best way to see art, especially oil paintings, to get the feel of them, see the textures and colors correctly.

Open Wed-Sat, 10-5
First Fridays hours: 4-7

Thank you to everyone who joined us for Friday night’s Artist Reception at The Collective Elkader! 🎨✨

It was such a wonderful evening filled with art, conversation, and community. We are so grateful to everyone who stopped by to celebrate the incredible talent on display and to support our local artists.

If you weren’t able to make it, there’s still plenty of time to experience our newest featured exhibition, Monochromatic Musings, on display throughout August and September. This special exhibit explores the beauty, depth, and emotion that can emerge from a focused color palette, proving that sometimes less truly is more.

While you’re here, be sure to visit our Guest Artist Exhibition featuring Barbara Floyd-Campbell, showcasing her unique artistic vision and creative talent.

Whether you’re looking for inspiration, searching for the perfect piece for your home, or simply wanting to enjoy an afternoon surrounded by creativity, we’d love to welcome you.

📍 Stop by The Collective Elkader this August and September and discover something that speaks to you. We can’t wait to see you!

✨ The Monochromatic Musings special exhibit is now on display and ready for you to experience. This new exhibition, featured throughout August and September, explores the beauty, depth, and emotion that can emerge from a single color palette. Each artist brings a unique perspective, proving that sometimes less color reveals even more.

We’d also like to congratulate Rebecca Hennessey on being selected as the People’s Choice Award winner for her painting, Midwest Heritage, from our recent Red, White, & Blue community exhibition. Thank you to everyone who participated and cast their votes!

We invite you to stop by, take your time, and discover the incredible artwork featured in Monochromatic Musings. You may just find a piece that speaks to you.
