Within the close-knit fiber of the Villages of Van Buren County lies a culture that brings the arts to life. For those of us who live here it may not be as obvious, but for those who journey to the lush hardwoods and twisting river valley of Van Buren County, Iowa it leaves a lingering presence and peacefulness experienced only by thoughts of years gone by.


Out of this culture has grown such artists as Wendell Mohr and many with such gifts and talents have chosen to make their homes amongst this peace and tranquility.


The Villages Folk School, with its campus spread throughout the valley like splotches of paint on an artist's palette, offers
others a chance to capture, if only for a brief moment in time,


the joy of experiencing the arts in this way.

“The Villages Folk School wishes you a very Merry Christmas”





     The first year of classes has come to a close at the Villages Folk School and we want to thank you all for your support of the folk school. We look forward to the coming year with great anticipation and will be offering even more in our class line-up.

     This is a great time for you to give a gift that will provide the opportunity for your friends and family to experience a class with one of our talented artist instructors. Gift certificates may be purchased at the Villages Folk School office in Bonaparte at the Opera House. Give us a call today at 319-592-3700. Our office is open from noon to 4 p.m. for your convenience. Put a Villages Folk School gift certificate under your tree and give the gift that opens up the world of creativity for your loved ones.

     A coming event for next year is the Villages Folk School Writer’s Conference 2011. This event on September 23, 24, & 25 will not only feature New York Times Best Selling Authors but literary agents, publishers and many other experts in the field of writing from around the country. We encourage you to get your registration in early because this event will have limited seating and we expect it to fill up quickly.

     To get a first hand look at our class calendar go to our website at www.villagesfolkschool.com and check out our class descriptions, artist bios and more. If you need further assistance give us a call at the Villages Folk School office at 319-592-3700.
