ArtSplash festival returns to Sioux City for 32nd year

SIOUX CITY (KTIV) - The Sioux City Art Center kicked off the 32nd ArtSplash Festival near the Art Center in Downtown Sioux City on Saturday, Sept. 19.

This is the second year the festival has been held in mid-September instead of Labor Day weekend, as in years past, following feedback from artists and attendees.

The community can participate in several family-friendly activities for free, and view and purchase artwork from new and returning artists.

Todd Sherwood, an artist based in Filer, Idaho, says he has attended for four years and enjoys himself every time.

“It’s a fantastic event. The people are amazing. They take such good care of us. The customers are amazing. We have repeat customers, which isn’t super common. Usually once you have so much art in your home, you know, you’re kind of done when your walls are full, but people keep coming back and getting more stuff from us. So we love it,” said Sherwood.

Vendors and free activities will also be available Sunday, Sept. 20, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
