Grant Wood was born in February of 1892 in Anamosa, Iowa. During the
summer of 1932, he established an art colony in Stone City, Iowa just
4 miles north of Anamosa. The aim of the original art colony was “to
join in working together toward the development of an indigenous
expression. To this end, we do not strive for any particular formula
or technique. We rather seek for a stimulating exchange of ideas,
a
cooperation of a variety of points of view.”
This is a celebration of his legacy and Iowan heritage.
Celebrate the
history of Grant Wood and the area around Stone City at the
Grant Wood Art Festival, held annually in Anamosa, Iowa.
