The Iowa Sculpture Festival recently donated $50,000 to the Des Moines Area Community College Foundation in support of the Legacy Plaza Greenspace project at the DMACC Newton Campus. The donation is part of an initiative to raise $4 million for the new community gathering space that will include a walking path, artwork, a pavilion and more. The funding will go toward a feature sculpture for the greenspace, a news release said. “This gift underscores the shared vision of enhancing our community through art, education and collaboration,” said Tara Connolly, executive director of the DMACC Foundation, in a prepared statement. “The Greenspace will serve as a vibrant gathering place, fostering creativity and connection for generations to come. 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.”
