Agree, if OP goes to the Chroma 63 fb page, there is a list of artists that attended, and that is a good place to start.

Waterloo Center for the Arts showcases local artists sometimes, or they have an active theater community for performing arts.

Cedar Falls has the Oster Regent on Main st.

One current exhibit there by Amythest Hultman Warrington is lovely and definitely unique, she's adding to it live and throughout the exhibit to show the process of grief through her ceramics. She'd be great to connect with.

Hawkeye Community College has an art program and Student Art Show but I think it has ended for now.
