The arts are the heart of our community
The Cedar Valley is an arts-rich community in Northeast Iowa
Strengthening our community by elevating the arts
We know that an arts-rich community is one that’s happier and healthier – a community energized by possibilities. Not only do the arts drive economic growth, and raise a community's quality of life, but they bring joy and uplift us in ways we couldn’t imagine.
That’s where Limelight comes in.
Limelight is an organization that aims to support and promote the arts in the Cedar Valley. We do this by nurturing and supporting artists and arts organizations in their work through marketing, advocacy, relationship-building and select community programming, including the annual Cedar Valley Arts Summit. Limelight also works to connect artists and arts organizations to resources, while acting as an advocate for the arts throughout the region.
