Welcome to Public Space One

Our mission is to serve the Iowa City community by providing a venue for innovative, experimental, and challenging contemporary art. It is our hope that by exposing our community to work otherwise unseen, we will facilitate engagement and understanding of the wide scope of the current art world.
