The Fine Arts & Cultural Events (FACE) of Mahaska County began in 2003 under the name of Oskaloosa Arts Fellowship. A few excited art enthusiasts had the idea to spread the arts in our community.

To provide exceptional arts education and make art accessible and exciting to our community.

To bring arts and activities to our community. Skunk River Arts Festival, Up & Coming Artist Show, Youth Summer Art Camp, local galleries and various classes and events.

Contact us to join our newsletter, to inquire about becoming a member, or find others ways to support the arts. Check out our Activities & Events page to find out more about what's going on.

Halloween
All day
October 31, 2021
https://everythingmahaska.org/event/halloween/2021-10-31/
A Little History: Halloween 2019 (also known as Allhalloween, All Hallows’ Eve, or All Saints’ Eve) occurs on the day before All Saints Day. It is a day that is dedicated to remembering the dead, including saints (hallows), martyrs, and all the faithful departed. Halloween is celebrated annually on October 31 in the United States and throughout the world. It is “widely believed” that Halloween originated from the ancient Celtic harvest festival, Samhain, and that this Gaelic observance was Christianized by the early Church. It is believed that the celebration of Halloween only made its way to the United States in the 19th Century by immigrants from Scotland and Ireland. The commercialization of Halloween (as we know it today) began in the 1900s, when postcards and die-cut paper decorations were produced. Halloween costumes started to appear in stores in the 1930s and the custom of ‘trick-or-treat’ appeared in the 1950s.
