The “Artists in Residence” component of the Dubuque Arts Council brings outstanding performers in many disciplines to tri-state area schools, affording youngsters unique opportunities to experience professional talents they normally wouldn’t see. These artists are scheduled for three performances per day for ten days, reaching 30 schools and approximately 5,000 students and teachers per artist.
Dubuque Arts Council operates on voluntary contributions from many outstanding civic minded business leaders, corporations and individuals who believe in our mission of "Educating and Entertaining." An operational support grant from The City of Dubuque Arts & Culture Commission helps defray office expenses and we have been received of grants from The John Deere Foundation, The Iowa Arts Council and bequests from several estates. More than 85% of our funding is used to pay for artists.
