Bringing More Family-Centered Events to Fort Madison
At the Fort Madison Area Arts Association (Fort Madison Art Center), we believe the arts should be for everyone—especially families! That’s why we’re cultivating more family-friendly events to make creativity accessible to all ages in Fort Madison and the surrounding communities.
From hands-on art workshops for kids to interactive scavenger hunts, seasonal festivals, and community art projects, we’re working to provide engaging experiences that bring families together through art.
