DUBUQUE ARTS COUNCIL. Formed in 1967 as the tenth such unit in Iowa, the Council was organized with assistance from the Iowa Arts Council, proposed by former Iowa Governor Harold Hughes.

The Council's stated goal is to bring artists to Dubuque for a residency rather than a single appearance. The Dubuque Arts Council Artist in Residence program has been heard in most of the elementary schools in the city, many businesses, churches, and care facilities, in addition to public performances at KENNEDY MALL, GRAND OPERA HOUSE, and the [TOWN CLOCK PLAZA]].

The Dubuque Arts Council is part of the Artstrek program, an alliance of local arts agencies. It is also a member of the DUBUQUE ARTS ALLIANCE.
