The Des Moines Arts Festival has opened applications for the Community Outreach Program, which offers nonprofits the opportunity to participate in the festival and share their work with thousands of guests free of charge. The program is made possibly by funding from the MidAmerican Energy Foundation. The Des Moines Arts Festival is June 28-30 in Western Gateway Park. Up to 20 nonprofit organizations accepted into the Community Outreach Program are supplied with a festival booth, signage, basic infrastructure and a $250 stipend for supplies or staffing. In turn, the nonprofits are required to provide an interactive arts-related activity along with staff to manage the booth. The nonprofits may display signage and distribute information within their booth. To learn more and apply, visit desmoinesartsfestival.org.
