Palo, Iowa - "Arts Haven"

I've had some crazy ideas in my life. Many in which have come to reality and some which have fizzeld by the way side. However, I truly believe there is great potential in the small little town of Palo. "The best hidden secret in Eastern Iowa" if you ask me. I have always said that Palo is like a sponge - of course not an ironic pun since the floods distroyed many people's lives there - but the town is waiting to soak up the hidden potentials of those around it. Now is the time!

My vision is to create an "arts haven" - a place where artists of all kinds can go and express their talents, a place where antique enthusists can come and find many prizes, a "getaway" from the hustle and bustle of city life, a place where students of all ages can get the training and experience needed to excel in their gifts, etc., etc., etc., etc. The possibilities are endless.....I am seeking additional artists as well as antique dealers to set up shop and help turn this little town into a destination. Artist who can help the Eastern Iowa Arts Academy in offering arts clases (art, music, dance, creative writing, theater) Yes it may take some time, however, if anyone is interested give me a call or stop by the shop to brainstorm. Together we can come up with pieces of the puzzle......
