A CULTURE CONNECTION
The artstop committee extends a thank you to the granting agencies, financial partners, media sponsors, visual
and performing venues, supporting individuals, business associations and Cultural and Entertainment Districts
that make artstop possible.
artstop is funded, in part, by a generous grant from the Iowa Community Cultural Grant program administered
by the Iowa Department of Cultural Affairs and from a Community Betterment Grant from Prairie Meadows
Racetrack and Casino.
TM
And a special thank you to BRAVO, Meredith Corporation and Principal Financial Group for considerable
financial support.
Our brochure was printed by major print sponsor Business Publications LLC with 12,000 copies in the August
dsm magazine and 5,000 extra copies to distribute at the visual and performing venues. KCCI is our television
sponsor. We appreciate the support of these key sponsors.
Also, we are grateful for additional media support from Cityview. And sponsors KLTI (Lite 104.1) and KIOA gave
us support for radio coverage.
West Bank, the City of West Des Moines and Majestic Limo & Coach are cultural supporters whose financial
help with artstop is invaluable.
Vital advice and assistance for artstop was provided by the Historic Valley Junction Foundation.
A final thank you to the Business Publications LLC design and sales staff for the layout of the brochure and to
Connie Wilson of Connie Wilson Design for her distinctive design of the artstop logo, print ads and email blasts.
The visual and performing venues thank all who helped make artstop possible.
artstop is dedicated to the memory of arts advocate Jan Shotwell, 1923-2006.

Quilting is a traditional American
art form that combines practicality
as well as self-expression. Quilt
making has experienced a revival
since the late 90’s. Quality fabrics,
faster cutting methods, and the
use of the sewing machine in
construction make quilt making fun
and easy. The Quilt Block is filled
with quilts made by today’s quilter.
