Tuesday Talk with Leslie Prideaux

 

Check out my interview with Leslie Prideaux of the UNI Alumni Association, a Tuesday Talk dropped just today, June 15, 2021. It was a lovely conversation and another great opportunity to show off the UNI Permanent Art Collection.

Ad(ventures) - WCA and HCA

 It has been oh so long but today I ventured out to other arts facilities, the Waterloo Center for the Arts (WCA) and the Hearst Center for the Arts (HCA). WCA has a glorious exhibition of Guatemalan textiles and HCA has a garden of delights, irises to be exact.

 

Tour of the Vault

 Many thanks to Melody Parker of the Waterloo/Cedar Falls Courier for a lovely article about the UNI Permanent Art Collection. They put me on the front page, a portrait with Post Rally by Robert Rauschenberg! Great photos by Chris Zoeller.
