(Elk Horn) The Museum of Danish America in Elk Horn was awarded an Inspire Iowa Grant.
The Inspire Iowa program was launched by the Iowa Tourism Office and Iowa Arts Council, both divisions of the Iowa Economic Development Authority, to elevate the perception of Iowa as a cultural destination and promote out-of-state visits and extended stays, which in turn can generate additional local spending and support economic growth.
The Museum of Danish America was awarded $25,000 to support the costs of presenting a major exhibition featuring three centuries of Danish ceramic art and attracting new visitors to Elk Horn before the exhibit travels outside the Midwest. The total project cost is $84,000.
