make 2022 the best year ever for your company or group!
What kind of learning do you have planned for your company?
What if you could bring a group of friends, family or coworkers to create art together?
Our artisans and makers are available to create exactly the kind of workshop you want! Weekends, evenings and daytime hours can be available. Want to make pots, cups or garden sticks out of clay? We can do that. Would you like to learn to paint with watercolor? We can do that. Have you ever wanted to create forged items? We can do that. The possibilities are endless!
If all this seclusion has taught us anything, we realize the importance of creativity and community in our lives. Legacy Learning will be here for you to help you realize those dreams of a more thoughtful, centered life when our busy lives resume in the new paradigm.
We have realized how essential it is to be able to provide our artists with a living wage when they give so generously of their time and talents and we also know that there are many learners who will need assistance to connect with us.
With your support and desire to become artists, if only for a day, we can keep our private workshops growing. We offer opportunities for students and artists to connect in beautiful, unique environments, deepen their understanding of themselves and the world around them and build a supportive creative community. We want to have fun again and we want you to join us!
Our focus for 2022 will be providing workshops based on what you and your group desire. Will we still have regular classes? Yes, but not as many. And we will post them on our Facebook page first.
At Legacy Learning Boone River Valley, we offer a variety of affordable instruction based on one to three-day classes taught by an experienced staff of visiting craftsmen, artists and tradesmen. We strive to bring the time-honored traditions and legacies of this great region into a relaxing, retreat style setting.
Workshops are partially made available by grant funding from organizations like:
Iowa Arts Council/Iowa Department of Cultural Affairs
Webster City, Iowa Hotel Motel Grants
Hamilton County Tourism Hotel Motel Grants

Artist in Residence Program with Facebook Journalism Project
Legacy Learning Boone River Valley, the Daily Freeman Journal and SaveYour.town partnered together to bring international photographer Brendan Hoffman from Kiev, Ukraine to town for an artist residency with the Daily Freeman Journal. Brendan also had a gallery showing of his work around the War in Ukraine. Part of this project was funded by Facebook Journalism Project. Deb Brown, cofounder of SaveYour.Town also did an Embedded Community Experience. You can read her final report below. The images below are pictures Brendan took while covering the war, an ad for his workshop in Webster City and one with Deb Brown.
