The Iowa Sculpture Festival recently donated $50,000 to the Des Moines Area Community College Foundation to support the Legacy Plaza Greenspace project at the DMACC Newton Campus.

The donation boosts DMACC’s $4 million fundraising goal for the new community space that will feature a walking path, artwork, a pavilion and more. The gift from the Iowa Sculpture Festival will be used for a featured sculpture.

“The Greenspace will serve as a vibrant gathering place, fostering creativity and connection for generations to come,” Tara Connolly, executive director of the DMACC Foundation, said in a prepared statement. “This partnership with the Iowa Sculpture Festival reflects the spirit of Newton’s artistic heritage and reinforces our commitment to enriching the lives of DMACC students and the wider community.”
