The Cedar Rapids Museum of Art Grant Wood Studio & Armstrong Visitor Center


Visit the Grant Wood Studio

Step into a work of art as you visit the original home and studio of American artist Grant Wood! Grant Wood (1891-1942) was a prominent member of the Regionalist movement. His home and studio was located at 5 Turner Alley from 1924 to 1935. His spirit is still very much alive as visitors observe the decorative details and craftsmanship that went into transforming the loft into a studio, performance space, and living quarters. Visitors can stand in the very spot where Grant Wood painted some of his most famous works including American Gothic (1930).

The Grant Wood Studio is a member of Historic Artists’ Homes and Studios, a program of the National Trust for Historic Preservation. The Grant Wood Studio is owned and operated by the Cedar Rapids Museum of Art, which houses the world’s largest collection of artworks by Grant Wood. A portion of those works are on currently on view at the CRMA, just blocks away from the Grant Wood Studio.
