Open Air Media Festival

Open Air Media Festival (OAMF) creates exhibition opportunities for media artists who live in Iowa and the greater Midwest region. Participating artists present projects ranging from site-specific installation, projection mapping, video, performance, sound, and radio-broadcasting in accessible, outdoor locations for art-seeking audiences and chance-engagement with a broad public. Iowa City has a long history of avant-garde media arts dating back to the 1960s from the University of Iowa’s Intermedia program to a thriving contemporary arts scene today. OAMF is the only large-scale media-arts event in Eastern Iowa and provides space for media-artists and arts-enthusiasts to connect, thereby strengthening the regional media-arts community.
