WHERE WE WORK

Turnaround Arts: Des Moines helps connect partner schools with regional arts networks, including community arts organizations, teaching artists, arts and cultural institutions, performance venues, professional learning experts, and higher education professionals in order to build community support systems that lead to sustainable change.

Our cohort of five partner schools are clustered on the north side of our city and all feed into historic North High School. All are Title 1 schools with significant populations of socioeconomically disadvantaged students.
