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.
