About Us
MAKETRICKS COLLECTIVE ARTS is a Southeast Iowa–based 501(c)(3) nonprofit supporting local artists through events, workshops, and an online marketplace. We empower creatives—especially underrepresented voices—by providing tools, resources, and community spaces to grow and share their work.
What We Provide
Creative Events & Experiences
We host regular shows, pop-ups, and community-centered events that give artists the opportunity to showcase their work, perform, and connect with wider audiences.
Workshops & Skill-Building Opportunities
We provide workshops led by experienced artists and professionals to help members sharpen their craft, learn new tools, and develop sustainable creative practices.
Online Marketplace
Our digital marketplace offers artists a platform to sell their work, build visibility, and reach customers beyond the local community—all while keeping ownership and creative control.
Space & Support
From studio space and installation opportunities to networking events and mentorship, MakeTricks is committed to providing real, tangible support to creatives at all stages of their journey.
At MakeTricks, we don’t just support artists—we grow a collective.
One that values collaboration, cultural expression, and the power of art to transform individuals and communities alike.
