Welcome to our web site! The Belmond Area Arts Council was formed in the late 1970’s. The council was formed to promote cultural arts in the north central Iowa area.

We have the Jenison-Meacham Memorial Art Center and Farm. The art center has a permanent collection and we host various arts shows during the year. The Arts Center also has a farm site with many agricultural artifacts.

The Arts Council has three other organizations under our umbrella including:

 
  		• Belmond Lyric Theater
         
     
  		• Iowa River Players
         
     
  		• Santa House
