Stanley Museum of Art

Jazz at the Stanley is back and moving outdoors! Join us in the sculpture park outside the museum for an evening of live music under the open sky.

Enjoy smooth jazz surrounded by stunning sculptures and take advantage of extended evening hours to explore the interior galleries before or after the show.

Presented in collaboration with SCOPE Productions, this event is free and open to all.

Bring a blanket or lawn chair and enjoy a wonderful night of music and art in the heart of Iowa City!
