SUMMARY:Des Moines Arts Festival 2027
DESCRIPTION:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Des Moines Arts Festival® traces its begin
 nings to 1958 when the Des Moines Art Center hosted the All Iowa Art Fair 
 to help celebrate their 10th anniversary. Between 1958-1982\, the event wa
 s given many names including All Iowa Art Fair\, Iowa Artists Exhibition\,
  Iowa Artists Annual Show\, and Iowa Art Show. In 1983\, the festival was 
 officially identified as Art in the Park. In 1992\, the event was moved fr
 om the grounds of the Des Moines Art Center to the Iowa State Fairgrounds 
 until in 1998 it was moved downtown along the Des Moines River. The festiv
 al went through another name change to become the Des Moines Arts Festival
 .\n​\nThe first All Iowa Art Fair attracted little more than a few hundr
 ed people. Nearly five decades later\, the Festival has established itself
  as the signature arts and culture event in Iowa and one of the most prest
 igious and admired festivals in the world. With an annual attendance excee
 ding 200\,000\, the Festival has welcomed more than 2.5 million visitors s
 ince moving downtown in 1998\, garnered more than 350 awards\, and generat
 es an estimated $8 million economic impact annually.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
