To support lifelong, interdisciplinary learning, the Stanley partners with both UI departments and community organizations to present collaborative programs for students and the community.
Brush Pen Calligraphy Workshop with Tianyi Xie
Join us for an immersive evening of art and explore the fluid beauty of Chinese ink traditions. Learn fundamental brush pen techniques in a hands-on session led by local artist Tianyi Xie in the museum lobby. Participants will design and create their own custom calligraphy bookmark and examine curated items from Special Collections and Archvies on display. Enjoy light refreshments while connecting with the community. All skill levels are welcome.
This collaborative workshop is held in partnership...
Write at the Stanley: A Generative Writing Workshop
Join us monthly to generate new creative writing inspired by works in the Stanley collection. Each session will be led by a different talented writer from our area, who will be offering a new prompt and a new approach to ekphrastic writing (writing inspired by visual art). Bring your own notebook and pencil or computer and leave with the beginning of a newly written piece.
Co-sponsored by Iowa City Poetry. Teen and adult writers in all genres are welcome.
