The time has come for me to pass this beautiful gallery on to another artist. Starting today, Susie Koutnik will be the owner of Fine Arts on Fifth. Susie has shown her artwork at the gallery for years and is well equipped to carry on the gallery's legacy moving forward.

The reason for this change is multifaceted, but can be summed up that I am simplifying and focusing my art workload.

I am very grateful for the patrons, the supportive community, the artists, students who took classes, the gallery neighbors, the , and the many smiling faces who have stopped by over the years.

Susie has many wonderful plans and aspirations for the gallery moving forward. I'm excited to see where she takes it!

Attention 2026 Malvern Market Vendors:
items items

June6-Aug1, 2026 No Market July4th

The Malvern Market portion is during the Concert Series and goes from 6:30-9p. The music goes until 9:30p. Vendors start showing up around 5-5:30p. It really depends on your set up and parking can fill up quickly. Be ready by 6:30p. For convenience, we encourage vendors to back their vehicle up to the North curb of Heritage Park and vend from or near their vehicle. This really depends on your set up? Otherwise the western half of Heritage Park along the sidewalks work well for 10x10 awning set ups. If the north parking fills up the west parking is also recommended while it lasts. We also recommend bringing some type of shade. The Malvern Concert Series & Market follow the Iowa State Farmers Market guidelines….baked items are good. No dairy. Eggs need to be cooled. No cooked food or drinks without a food permit and permission. The Independence Day Celebration is the Saturday before July 4th/June27th and moves to Fairview Hills Golf Course just south of Malvern. It’s busy and ends with fireworks. Vendors are encouraged. There will be NO Concert or Market July4th. If you like music this a win win. It’s a fun scene! Hope to see you
