WATERLOO CENTER FOR THE ARTS
HEARST CENTER FOR THE ARTS
THE COLLEGE CONNECTION
The Waterloo Center for the Arts boasts the largest collection of Haitian art in the country, a true gem for the Cedar Valley. Stop in to see the vibrant, sequin-covered ƉÁúʼn ÁĢà ĆĢőŅĆÚÁőäěű ÙäÁàäà Haitian textiles on display, in addition to the museum’s large collection of local and regional art. While you’re there, don’t miss the mural along the river painted by Cedar Valley students commemorating Waterloo’s civil rights history. The mural is also visible from the beautiful RiverLoop Amphitheater, where you can take in free outdoor concerts, catch an evening movie under the stars or simply enjoy the riverfront view.
Just south of the heart of downtown is the Hearst Center for the Arts, the area’s free community arts center named after poet-farmer James Hearst. The center hosts free indoor and outdoor concerts, exhibitions of a variety of themes, and a full calendar of talks, workshops and drop-in programs on art, literature and music. The Hearst also hides a hidden gem: a beautiful sculpture garden that is worth a stop and a meander, especially in the springtime.
Another free venue for excellent art is on the campus of the University of Northern Iowa. The university has a vast collection of public art, including sculptures scattered across campus to unique depression-era murals in Seerley Hall. The University ĩù aĩŅőĂäŅĢ HĩūÁ <ÁěěäŅű ĩù Ņő features an annual exhibition schedule of work from a variety of disciplines and themes.

Two taprooms. Two unique experiences.
WATERLOO
Our BrewHouse in Waterloo resides within a wonderfully renovated facility, once a Wonder Bread Bakery. Featuring a traditional Beer Hall and Beer Garden for those craving a social dining experience, as well as a dining room for what us Iowans would consider typical dinner seating.
CEDAR FALLS
Our original Brewery / Taproom sits within the historic Main Street district of downtown Cedar Falls, Iowa. Conveniently located just minutes from the University of Northern Iowa campus and a gentle coast downhill (1 block) from the Cedar Valley Nature Trail.
