Valentines Silent Auction

Every year the AAC organizes a Silent Auction around Valentines Day to raise funds for our K-12 Summer Camp classes. Both individuals and local businesses donate items for auction and all proceeds from the event go towards art supplies and scholarships for children. In 2024 we were able to raise over $5000!

Art Supply Garage Sale

The first weekend of May, the AAC organizes an art supply garage sale to raise funds for our art education programs. This allows us to save unwanted supplies from landfills and offer discounted art supplies to artists and hobbyists in the area.

 

 We take donations of new and gently used art supplies all year round and can offer a donation receipt if needed.

Ankeny Art Center Arts Festival

The newest AAC event is the Ankeny Art Center Arts Festival, held in May and located in Uptown Ankeny. The AAC organizes over 50 artists booths and creative activities to bring more art experiences to the city of Ankeny. 

Santa's North Pole Village Craft Sale

This annual fundraiser has been an Ankeny tradition for over 43 years, and features hand-crafted items from artists and crafters all over the Mid-West. Our 1-day shopping event provides a fun day for more than 3500 eager shoppers.
