Quad City Arts is a regional nonprofit organization focused on the arts in the Quad City area, serving a six-county region across eastern Iowa and northwestern Illinois. Based in Rock Island, Illinois, it works to enrich the community’s quality of life through the presentation, development, and celebration of the arts. The group provides opportunities, programming, and events that engage residents and local institutions in artistic activity.

Its activities include flagship community events such as the Chalk Art Fest and the High School Art Invitational, as well as Arts Dollars grants that supported 29 organizations and nine individual artists in 2025. The organization partners with municipalities on public art projects, delivering installations such as Arches—a mural by Bill Gustafson—and sculpture pads at the Interstate 74 bike path and Be the Light Park, with additional collaboration on the Q Multimodal Station project in Moline. In May 2026, Quad City Arts appointed Krishna Smit as Development Director as part of its leadership updates.
