NOTEBOOK: Des Moines nonprofit ArtForce Iowa to go 100% virtual after move from Social Club Friday, July 2, 2021 6:00 AM Christine Her firmly believes in managing risks. I spoke recently with Her, who has led ArtForce Iowa as its executive director for almost five years, for a story that I’m working on about food insecurity. In that interview, I learned that the Des Moines nonprofit will, for the foreseeable future, operate entirely without any physical studio or office space after moving out of the Des Moines Social Club building downtown at the end of June. While it was a difficult decision, Her believes that it’s the best move for her clients and the organization. ArtForce Iowa should save about $20,000 on rent over the next year as it continues to offer programs and workshops on a virtual basis as staff members work remotely from home.
