Arts & Entertainment
Enriching Activities to Celebrate the Beauty and Joy of Life
Art and entertainment are more than pleasing to the eye. Arts inspire creativity and inspiration. Entertainment can deepen humanity and empathy. Both contribute to mental stimulation, continued critical thinking and joy.
That’s why at Northcrest, we make it a priority to deepen our community’s lives with arts and entertainment on campus and beyond. Residents can join a variety of classes, social gatherings and more each month to engage with the arts and entertainment that make life more meaningful.
Nestled in the heart of Ames, Iowa, close to downtown and a number of other Central Iowa locations, Northcrest provides residents transportation services to visit the beauty around us.
