Partnerships
Butterworth Center & Deere-Wiman House sponsors the annual High School Art Exhibit in partnership with Quad City Arts (1715 2nd Avenue, Rock Island, Illinois 61201). The exhibit, held at Quad City Arts, allows high school students to compete in both 2- and 3-dimensional categories. In addition, art teachers may enter their artwork in a separate teachers' category. Winners are announced at a formal reception.
Quad City Arts programs are funded in part by Festival of Trees, Quad City Arts Partners, and operating grants from the Illinois Arts Council (a state agency), and the Iowa Arts Council, a division of the Department of Cultural Affairs.
