exhibits, films, concerts, art classes, an art library and a sales/
rental gallery make the museum the cornerstone of the local
arts community. The Clear Lake Arts Center is a unique facility
featuring several art galleries, a gift shop hosting the work of
local artists, workshops, studios, and a performing arts wing.

Our love for art is also seen on our streets. The River City
Sculptures on Parade outdoor sculpture walk winds through
downtown Mason City, featuring the works of well-regarded
sculptors from around the world. Several Mason City buildings
include the work of artist Bob White, who developed and
perfected the fused glass technique. View his creations at
the First Presbyterian Church, Greek Orthodox Church, First
Congregational UCOC, and the MacNider Art Museum.

Theater
If you have a love for the theater, Mason City has a lot to offer.
The Mason City Community Theatre offers an array of quality
performances throughout the year and gives local actors
a chance to hone their craft. The award-winning Stebens
Children’s Theatre displays the talents of area youth in
productions tailored to a younger crowd. Classes are offered
year-round for kids ages 7-18. If it’s big names you want to see,
the North Iowa Performing Arts & Leadership Series brings
them to the heart of Iowa. The stage of the 1200-seat North
Iowa Community Auditorium brims with talent that spans the
world. Talented entertainers and musicians, Broadway shows,
ballet companies, bestselling authors, and captains of industry
grace the stage each year.
