Since its founding in the 1700s, Royal Copenhagen has made Denmark famous for porcelain.
The State Historical Society of Iowa recently announced that more than $140,000 in grants have been awarded to Iowa organizations and individuals working in the humanities. Eligible projects supported by these grants include educational programming and cultural art exhibits.
“We are thrilled to support humanities projects throughout Iowa because we know they make a difference in Iowa communities,” Interim Iowa Humanities Council Director Andrew Klumpp said in a prepared statement. “We’re delighted to be able to invest in the humanities here in Iowa and help make our home a more vibrant and engaging place to live.”
A few projects are already in the works, including:
The Museum of Danish America in Elk Horn will engage national and online audiences in the upcoming exhibition “Danish Ceramics: Beyond Blue and White,” which opened in November and continues through April 2026. The grant will help the museum team amplify the exhibition’s content and themes through print and online media.
Heritage Works Inc. will host a symposium to examine two Iowa examples of Prairie style architecture: Eagle Point Park in Dubuque, designed by landscape architect Alfred Caldwell and completed in 1934; and Cedar Rock in Independence, which Frank Lloyd Wright designed for Lowell and Agnes Walter in 1950.
