Art on the River Exhibit

The Art on the River public art exhibit is located along the Mississippi Riverwalk in the Port of Dubuque. Anyone can stroll the picturesque walkway that stretches from the Star Brewery to the National Mississippi River Museum and Aquarium, past the Grand River Center on the shores of the mighty Mississippi, to view a juried collection of sculptures that are changed out every year in late July.

Arts + Culture = Catalyst for Change

The City of Dubuque’s Arts & Culture Master Plan and Community Engagement Strategy empower residents to lead efforts in building a more supportive, engaged, and connected community by expanding access to a variety of arts and cultural experiences.

By leveraging the power of the arts, culture, and creativity, we can drive a broader agenda for change, growth, and transformation in a way that also builds character and quality of place. Learn more about Dubuque's Arts & Culture Master Plan and how to get involved.
