Adventure Pass Changes in 2025

Due to software issues affecting all libraries using the service, the Des Moines Public Library’s Iowa Adventure Pass program will no longer be available in 2025. Any reservation already made for 2025 will be honored, but we encourage anyone with a current reservation to print those passes immediately. Customers can make new reservations for passes that must be used by December 31, 2024. We hope to reintroduce the service at a later time, and we apologize for the inconvenience.

Event Details

Join After School Arts Program (ASAP) teaching artist Amy Tingstrom for a virtual art lesson on how to make a very unique collage portrait.  This portrait will be made entirely out of pictures of food and plants and is based on the work of the 16th century Italian painter Arcimboldo.

Beginning June 1, you can stop by any of our six library branches to pick up a free ASAP Art Kit containing all of the materials needed for this project.  These kits will be available while supplies last.

Then, visit us on Facebook starting Tuesday, June 8, at 2:00 PM for a video tutorial with Amy Tingstrom.  If you can't make it on Tuesday, the video will be available to watch for two weeks after it first airs.

This project is recommended for ages 8 and up.
