Art
The Waterloo Center for the Arts stimulates inquiry, provokes dialogue and connects people through the arts.
GALLERIES
The Center collects Midwest Art, American Decorative Arts, International Folk Art, including a significant collection of Mexican Folk Art and the worlds' largest public collection of Haitian Art. Selections from our collections are always on display. We also feature changing exhibits in five separate galleries throughout the building.
UPCOMING EXHIBITIONS
