Ballet Meets Art in Des Moines | Des Moines News

Ballet Des Moines is revving up its Artist-in-Residence program for a second year, inviting a mid-career Iowa artist to dive into the ballet studio, create visual art inspired by dance, and become part of the creative team. Partnering with the Greater Des Moines Public Art Foundation, the initiative bridges visual and performing arts to engage all ages through performances and education. Last year’s artist, Olivia Valentine, had her work featured in a ballet — proving art forms can dance together. This year, the artist will collaborate with By Degrees to lead workshops in Des Moines Public Schools, sparking creativity and collaboration among students — teaching them to build something new by thinking across disciplines and forging trust through shared artistic experiences.
