Focus: Creating a World-class Museum, here in Iowa City

How would a museum about storytelling work? We have ideas.

In an exclusive video for our partners, we take a look at some of the great opportunities we have to marvel audiences and create a valuable, unique institution.

Focus: Let’s Make Iowa City Better for Tourism

It’s clear from the data. Folks throughout America — and even in Iowa — don’t know how great Iowa City really is. Boost awareness, and they will come.

See our research report here.

Or get the main takeaways in our next video, coming soon!

Focus Area: Boosting Literacy in America

While Stories Project will celebrate storytelling of all forms, one form – storytelling via the written word – is quickly becoming an endangered species.

Reading is enjoyable. It’s good for our society. And it’s good for your brain. But Americans young and old read less each year. Come back soon for a video about our mission to boost literacy in America.

Focus Area: The Greatest Small City for the Arts in America

Our city is terrific. But our local economy and great cultural institutions cannot thrive on local support alone. Investing in Stories Project means investing in our whole arts community.

We know Iowa City is the greatest small city for the arts in Amercia — let’s let everyone else know too.
