Iowa Art Schools

Iowa may not be the first place you consider for beginning your arts or Web development career. But this quiet state of rolling prairies and clean air is becoming a creative center, thanks to the concerted efforts of economic development agencies. These efforts have helped the state capital, Des Moines, rank as the "Hippest City in America" in 2003 by Fast Company Magazine, and the 4th Best Place for Business and careers in 2007 by Forbes. Des Moines also makes Forbes' list for Per Capita Income and Average Annual Pay. And Kiplinger calls Iowa City the 10th Smartest Place to Live, one that's "bursting with creative and intellectual energy."

Art & Design in Iowa

A 2007 report stated that Iowa's booming IT and Web development industries were all vastly understaffed, meaning that companies may offer double or triple the average salary in order to lure employees. All this means that getting design career training in Iowa can pay off in many ways.
