Performance | Interwoven Worlds: A Dance Journey Between Three Cities in Iowa
Thursday, May 14, 2026 6:30pm to 7:30pm
Experience a unique live performance in the museum lobby as part of Interwoven Worlds: A Dance Journey Between Three Cities in Iowa. This collaborative project blends dance, visual art, and film inspired by works from three Iowa art museums.
At the Stanley Museum of Art, this performance brings Elizabeth Catlett’s artwork Which Way? to life through an original dance work, the second of a three part movement.

Write at the Stanley: A Generative Writing Workshop
Sunday, May 24, 2026 2:30pm to 4:15pm
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.
