Prairie Art Board Pickup Begins

March 10

The 2026 Prairie Art Exhibit, “Sounds in the Prairie” will be on display at the historic Wallace Farm from June through September.

Sign up to paint a prairie art board and pick your board up at the Wallace Farm near Orient or the Wallace House in Des Moines starting Tuesday, March 10. Completed paintings can be then dropped off at either location by Friday, May 15.

Please following these guidelines prior to returning:

  • Incorporate your own creative interpretation of the theme
  • Acrylic or exterior paint recommended
  • Paint the board edges to prevent weather damage
  • Seal with 2+ coats with an outdoor sealer on both sides and all edges

As a participant you understand and agree to your art being on display to the public from June through September. Your art becomes WCI property unless you arrange for pickup after the exhibit ends. Your art may also be photographed and used for WCI marketing purposes or repurposed without remuneration. WCI is also not responsible for damage, loss or theft.
