ROCK ISLAND, ILLINOIS (July 14, 2026) — Please join us for a ribbon cutting Thursday, August 13, 2026, 4PM, for The Cultural Trust's new location at 100 19th Street, Suite 108/109, Rock Island, Illinois, 61201.After years of operating from donated space in Bettendorf, The Cultural Trust is moving into a new home in downtown Rock Island.

Our new office will better reflect who we are today and where we're headed tomorrow — a place where ideas come together, partnerships grow, and culture continues to thrive.

This move is about more than a new address. It's about creating a space designed for collaboration, creativity, and connection as we continue building a stronger cultural ecosystem across the Quad Cities.

We’re excited for what comes next and grateful to DARI for partnering with us to help bring this space to life.For more information, please visit The Cultural Trust.
