Celebrate Creston’s past while looking toward its future. Join Creston Arts and the Creston Historic Preservation Commission for a special reception and guest talk by Jane Briley. Jane will share updates on the commission’s work toward Uptown’s historic designation and explain why protecting our architectural heritage matters for generations to come.
Alongside the conversation, enjoy an exhibition of artwork by Iowa artists inspired by Creston’s historic buildings and landscapes. If you have a piece of art that reflects Creston’s architectural past, we’d love to see it—submit your work by emailing info@crestonarts.org.
Come for the art, stay for the conversation, and leave with a deeper appreciation for the stories written into Creston’s walls, windows, and streets - Saturday, October 18th at 10:00 AM at the Creston Arts Depot Gallery.
