Friday’s performance will also include ASL interpretation.\nAudio Description (AD)\, a tool for making performing and visual arts more accessible\, is integrated into the performance.  UIDC has been learning to use Audio Description as a tool to describe live dance in order to connect and share with all audiences across our region. We are curious about how this process will challenge our current dance making practices and will allow us to work towards greater inclusion and accessibility in the studio and on the stage. \nAbout the UI Dance Company: Since 1984\, UIDC has been offering  students  an opportunity to present high caliber\, innovative  dance  performances to  audiences across Iowa  in a variety of settings. The UI Dance Company believes  dance can provoke awe\, inspire joy\, stimulate thought\, and create new perspectives. Our  mission is to create  meaningful connections with the community through the creation of new choreography for Space Place theater\, public touring engagements\, workshops\, lecture-demonstrations\, and site-specific interventions. \nArtistic Director - Stephanie Miracle\nAssistant Director - Sophia McLaughlin\nRehearsal Assistant/Audio Describer - Cami Rezabek\nCast - Madison Burkhart\, Jack Delaney\, Noah Fox\, Ruby Gentzler\, Amelia Fisher\, Enza Handzel\, Jemma Hoffman\, Allyson Meinders\, Emily Pyburn\, Allyson Radke\, Gracie Schultz\, Paige Waller\nGuest Choreographers - Aaron Samuel Davis\, Christopher McMillan\nGraham Rehearsal assistant - Katelyn Perez\nDigital Designers - Molly Costello and Mack Albert\nLighting Designer - Jim Albert\nCostume Designer - Margaret Wenk-Kuchlbauer \ndance.uiowa.edu URL:https://maquoketa-art.org/event/ui-dance-company-presents-dances-described/ LOCATION:Maquoketa Art Experience\, 124 S Main St\, Maquoketa\, IA\, 52060 CATEGORIES:Upcoming Event ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://maquoketa-art.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/UI-Dance-3.2.2024.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20240302T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20240302T143000 DTSTAMP:20260502T080120 CREATED:20231221T195531Z LAST-MODIFIED:20231222T014011Z UID:2946-1709384400-1709389800@maquoketa-art.org SUMMARY:RAINBOW GLASS STILL LIFE DESCRIPTION:Overlapping glass bottles create an array of new colors!\nAges: 9 – Adult URL:https://maquoketa-art.org/event/rainbow-glass-still-life/ LOCATION:Maquoketa Art Experience\, 124 S Main St\, Maquoketa\, IA\, 52060 CATEGORIES:Adult Workshop,Workshop,Youth Workshop ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://maquoketa-art.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/Resized_Screenshot_20230829_142513_Chrome-1-e1703187089968.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=UTC:20240224T100000 DTEND;TZID=UTC:20240224T120000 DTSTAMP:20260502T080120 CREATED:20240129T002539Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240129T003606Z UID:3083-1708768800-1708776000@maquoketa-art.org SUMMARY:PHOTOGRAPHY BASICS: FROM CAMERAS TO IPHONES WITH TIME REES DESCRIPTION:Learn the basics of photographic principles from renowned artist Tim Rees in this convenient two-hour workshop!\nCost: $10 per person\nAges: 12 Through Adult\nRegister online\, by phone\, email\, or in person by Thursday\, February 22 URL:https://maquoketa-art.org/event/photography-basics-from-cameras-to-iphones-with-time-rees/ LOCATION:IA CATEGORIES:Adult Workshop,Workshop,Youth Workshop ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://maquoketa-art.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Photography-Basics-Rees-2.24.2024-1920-x-1005-px-1.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=UTC:20240217T140000 DTEND;TZID=UTC:20240217T160000 DTSTAMP:20260502T080120 CREATED:20231228T044306Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240119T050942Z UID:2990-1708178400-1708185600@maquoketa-art.org SUMMARY:Artist Reception | Kurt Ullrich | Saturday\, Feb. 17 DESCRIPTION:Join local artist and author\, Kurt Ullrich for a reception to view his personal collection of photographs taken at the Iowa State Fair plus see his collection of regional artists lithography and originals. \nArtist’s Reception is from 2 pm to 4 pm on Saturday\, February 17th\, 2024. \nKurt will also be having a book signing during the reception.

John taught me camera basics\, as well as how to develop and print photos. In those days we only shot in black and white\, something I continue to this day. In addition to working for Wartburg I began to shoot more artsy\, less-journalistic photos and was fortunate to have work published in publications like the Des Moines Register Sunday Magazine. I suppose it was during that time that I realized photography was an excellent medium for telling stories\, both as stand-alone photos and as photos accompanying written work. I am best known for my written work. \nMy first paid column was in 1970 when I was in high school\, a column that appeared in the Chicago Tribune. For more than 30 years my columns\, often accompanied by my photos\, have appeared regularly in the Chicago Tribune\, Chicago Sun-Times\, Baltimore Sun\, St. Louis Post-Dispatch\, Houston Chronicle\, Minneapolis Star-Tribune\, Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. The Iowan Magazine\, Des Moines Register\, Cedar Rapids Gazette\, Quad-City Times\, and Dubuque Telegraph Herald\, and others. In 2023 the Telegraph Herald will be publishing a 60-page ‘magazine’ of my columns and photos. All proceeds will benefit the Fund for Local Journalism. My photos alone have also been published in the Washington Post\, the Boston Globe\, and many other publications. \nWhat I do is classic “street photography\,” a form of art practiced for a long time by such luminaries as Robert Frank\, Vivian Maier\, Bruce Davison\, and many others\, all of whom have influenced my work. As a fan of the Iowa State Fair I proposed an idea for a photo book to the good folks at the University of Iowa Press and\, very quickly\, they responded favorably. They incorporated all of my suggestions. i.e. black & white photos\, format\, size\, number of essays. The only thing I was not allowed to choose? The cover photo! They loved the goat. The CEO/Manager of the fair\, Jeremy Parsons recently told me that “The Iowa State Fair” is a “wonderful book – incredible writing and stunning photos.”  \nThat sort of sentiment is why I’d like to make the photos available to as many in Iowa as possible. The fair is an important part of the history of the state and I believe I did a relatively decent job of bringing some of that history to life\, on a very personal level\, not just for me but for anyone who loves the fair. It’s a collection of snapshots that reveal oft-lost cultural and spiritual truths here in the heartland. In the end\, a state fair is about people\, people who participate and people who visit\, and I hope my photos appeal to both groups. It’s a ‘come with me\, take my hand\, let’s walk around and see what we can see’ approach to the art of photography.

She creates work across various media from printmaking to installation to invent and explore personal mythologies informed by a feminist diasporic perspective. Centering around a female re-imagining of an ancient Chinese headless deity\, the world created within her work exists as an imaginary realm where the liminal becomes a space of alternative existence. \nArtist’s Bio:  \nJunli Song grew up in Chicago\, but lived abroad from 2012-2018 in South Korea\, England\, Italy\, and South Africa. Her studies are similarly widespread: she originally majored in economics and international development at the University of Chicago and the University of Oxford\, respectively\, before returning to the creative path. She completed her MFA at the University of Arkansas with a concentration in printmaking\, and is currently the Grant Wood fellow in printmaking and visiting professor at the University of Iowa. As an artist and storyteller\, she works across a range of media from printmaking and painting to sculpture and animation to explore imagined worlds and personal mythologies. \nWEBSITE \n\nFree and open to the public – Donations appreciated URL:https://maquoketa-art.org/event/a-world-in-between-a-discussion-with-grant-wood-art-colony-fellow-junli-song/ LOCATION:IA CATEGORIES:Past Events ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://maquoketa-art.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/Junli-Song.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=UTC:20231111T130000 DTEND;TZID=UTC:20231111T143000 DTSTAMP:20260502T080120 CREATED:20230922T232408Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230922T232408Z UID:2598-1699707600-1699713000@maquoketa-art.org SUMMARY:3D Metal Stars Workshop DESCRIPTION:Like to hammer\, pound\, and create?
