Save the date! The next Bravo Awards Gala will be held on February 4, 2023!

Bravo Greater Des Moines honored Tom and Linda Koehn, ArtForce Iowa and Capital City Pride during the 2022 Bravo Awards Gala.

Two Spotlight Awards were given to shine a light on inspiring work happening because of Bravo’s investments in arts, culture and heritage organizations.  ArtForce Iowa and Capital City Pride both received Spotlight Awards this year. Tom and Linda Koehn were honored with the Bravo Award in recognition of their contribution to arts in the region.
