The mission of the Fairfield Cultural Alliance is to cultivate, support, promote and unify the city's plethora of arts, cultural attractions and events, thus enhancing Fairfield as a wonderful place to live, work and engage, proudly sharing its cultural assets.
In 2005, the Fairfield Strategic Plan crystallized the vision we share to cultivate and promote Fairfield's cultural richness and recreational opportunities.
Community leaders generously contributed time and talent to apply to the State of Iowa for designation as a cultural district.
To satisfy one of the application requirements, the Fairfield Cultural Alliance was founded for the purpose of developing organizational, financial, and business systems to support the expanding creative economy.
The board will strive to represent a cross section of the arts including visual arts, performing arts, music, dance, cinema, photography, literature, architecture, horticulture and cuisine.

With your support . . .
The Fairfield Cultural District will provide a focus for the cultural, historical and artistic attractions that already exist in the area, as well as draw more artists to live and work in the District and more tourists to visit the City, resulting in a vibrant, sustainable economy and a more interesting place to live, eat, shop and recreate.
We can help restore neighborhoods such as the historic "New Chicago" area, and help develop the rail yard area next to the Broadway Building into a unique shopping facility with lodging.
The Creative Fairfield Alliance will coordinate activities of the Cultural District, promote the District, seek funds for specific projects, and conduct periodic tax credit workshops for professionals and property owners.
