Shortly before Christmas, on 22 December, the new Iecava Music and Art School at Grafa laukums 1, Iecava was officially opened with a ribbon cutting ceremony and a festive concert. Representatives from the Ministry of Culture, Ministry of Education and Science, Zemgale Planning Region, Latvian National Centre for Culture, Culture Capital Foundation of Latvia, Embassy of Switzerland in Latvia, the commonwealth municipality in Pasvale, neighbouring municipalities, as well as representatives from Iecava Music and Art School, Iecava District Council and MONUM participated in the solemn opening.

Construction of the school began on 18 September 2014. After several months, on 5 December, a capsule was immured in the foundations with a message for the next generations. The total cost of the construction amounts to EUR 2,194,506, including value added tax. According to the construction agreement, MONUM, the general constructor, carried out and funded the construction of the school, and the remuneration was only received after the building was commissioned.

The new Iecava Music and Art School consists of two buildings, and approximately 140 pupils will attend the school. The new block was added to the building where the manor library was located during the time of Count Peter Ludwig von der Pahlen. It is one of the buildings preserved from the old manor complex. The first floor of the new block has premises for individual classes, while the second floor premises are intended for group classes and school administration needs. The rooms for artists and ceramists are located on the third floor. The concert hall is situated on the 2^nd floor of the historical building, while the 3^rd floor premises are assigned to the youth centre.
