Sioux City Art Center wins award for ‘Razzle Dazzle' project
SIOUX CITY, Iowa (KCAU) — The Sioux City Art Center is being recognized as part of the 2025 Iowa Governor's Arts Awards for one of its projects that debuted this past year.
Lieutenant Governor Chris Cournoyer and the Iowa Economic Development Authority awarded the museum with the Arts Service Award for Amanda Browder's 'Razzle Dazzle' project back in August. The project transformed the architecture of the center by installing vibrant textiles made from dozens of recycled, donated, or locally sourced fabrics.

Browder, who lives in Brooklyn, worked with volunteers and artists at sewing events hosted in Sioux City. Razzle Dazzle represents in part the diversity of those who worked on the installation, according to a release.
The Governor's Arts Awards are given every other year to recognize outstanding organizations that have made significant contributions to the arts in Iowa.
'These awardees exemplify the passion, creativity and leadership that drive Iowa's arts community forward,' Iowa Arts Council director David Schmitz said. 'Their work enriches our state, inspires our communities and ensures that the arts continue to thrive for future generations.'
10 Iowa individuals and organizations received awards in seven categories. There were over 90 nominees.
