Shane McQuillan for Des Moines Speaks, Ralston Crawford's "Worth Steel Plant" (1936) - The art works within the permanent collections at the Des Moines Art Center do not only belong to the museum. As a free and accessible arts institution, authority and interpretation belong to all who experience these works. Our community is encouraged to see this collection as theirs, and in fostering this, our Des Moines Speaks program has invited citizens of our city to share their voices and visions alongside the artworks that inspire them. #desmoinesartcenter #desmoines #iowa #arttok #museumtok #artmuseum #museumtok #painting #desmoinesspeaks #oilpainting
