Kavanaugh Art Gallery

Kavanaugh Art Gallery is an art gallery in Historic Valley Junction that displays paintings, sculptures, and mixed media works by artists from various regions. The exhibitions spread across multiple rooms and present both established and emerging artistic perspectives.

The gallery was founded in 1989 and grew to become an important location for contemporary art collections in Iowa. Since its opening, it has served as a central place for supporting regional and national artists.

The gallery showcases work from artists near and far, drawing visitors who want to engage with contemporary art firsthand. Regular events and artist talks give people the chance to learn more about the pieces and meet the creators behind them.

Visiting allows you to explore the exhibitions in modern, manageable space with good access and way-finding. A typical visit lasts one to two hours depending on how closely you want to look at the works.

The gallery provides crayons for young visitors so they can create art while exploring the space. This approach lets children engage with creativity in their own way while adults browse the collection.
