SUMMARY:Art & Write Night
DESCRIPTION:Join the long\, rich\, historical tradition of artists creating in our spaces.\nProfessional\, aspiring\, and amateur artists alike\, make our museum your muse. The return of this popular program series welcomes guests into the Museum of Natural History’s magical gallery spaces after hours to work on sketching or writing projects with other campus and community artists. \nTell a friend\, grab a notebook\, and join us on the first Friday of each month. We’ll provide a new inspo prompt for each session and will sometimes move about the Museum but we’ll always start in the Hageboeck Hall of Birds (Bird Hall) on the third floor of Macbride Hall. Join anytime between 6-8 p.m. and feel free to participate in a themed creation challenge or work on your own project with our exhibits as inspiration. We’ll save the last 15-30 minutes of each session to share what we’ve been working on\, connecting with others (optional\, of course!). \nPlease note\, the Museum is typically closed during this time\, meaning the main entrance to Iowa Hall (atop the large staircase outside on the east side of Macbride Hall) will be closed and locked. All other building doors will be open\, offering access to the Ground Floor of Macbride Hall. Bird Hall is located on the third floor of Macbride Hall and can be reached by stairs or by taking the elevator to the third floor and crossing the auditorium to the north side of the building.

SUMMARY:Grief Writing - A monthly exploration of loss and heartbreak
DESCRIPTION:Grief Writing – A monthly exploration of loss and heartbreak \nTime: First Saturday of each month\, 10 am to 11:15 am Central Time. Sat. 4/5\, Sat. May 3rd\, Sat. June 7th \n“I am not suggesting that we live a life preoccupied with sorrow. I am saying that our refusal to welcome the sorrows that come to us\, our inability to move through these experiences with true presence and conscious awareness\, condemns us to a life shadowed by grief. Welcoming everything that comes to us is the challenge. This is the secret to being fully alive.” – Francis Weller \nJennifer New leads this monthly group that uses writing as a reflective tool to explore loss. Francis Weller’s Five Gates of Grief provides a backbone to consider grief from multiple angles\, e.g.\, death of loved ones\, loss of health or ability\, grief for the world. This is an ongoing group; you’re welcome to attend once or each time. No writing experience is needed. \nRegister here to receive a Zoom link: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScCAE8cbaf5Va-3V5TrXUTtTOJ9-PIlnE4eqq3xEw5kIR9_1A/viewform Or come in-person. \nPayment: This class is offered via dana – the Buddhist concept of giving without expectation of receiving anything in return. Making donations to recognize the leader’s teachings are appreciated.

SUMMARY:The Lifespan of a Fact
DESCRIPTION:An eager intern at a top literary magazine is given a career-making assignment – fact-checking a new work by a celebrated essayist. The only problem is\, most of the facts in the essay are embellished\, adjusted\, or just plain made up! Details wrestle with truth when the intern travels thousands of miles to confront the essayist\, with the deadline looming. Based on the critically-acclaimed book by John D’Agata and Jim Fingal.

SUMMARY:Curator Guided Tour of 'A Roll of the Dice: Symbolism in the Sackner Archive' with Rich Dana
DESCRIPTION:Join curator Rich Dana for a special guided tour of the current University of Iowa Libraries Main Library Gallery exhibition\, A Roll of the Dice: Symbolism in the Sackner Archive. All are welcome to attend this free event. \nAbout the exhibit:  \nIn 1897\, French Symbolist poet Stéphane Mallarmé revolutionized the world of graphic design with a single poem that forever changed the way we look at words. His work illustrated how text conveys meaning not only through words\, but also as visual symbols that contain a deeper meaning. For over 125 years\, artists and writers have continued to explore the mystery of Mallarmé’s poem “Un coup de dés jamais n’abolira le hasard” [A throw of the dice will never abolish chance]. This exhibition\, curated by Sackner Archive Project Coordinator Librarian Rich Dana\, features art\, books\, and ephemera from the Ruth and Marvin Sackner Archive of Concrete and Visual Poetry that explore the immense influence of “Un coup de dés” since its publication. \nIndividuals with disabilities are encouraged to attend all University of Iowa–sponsored events. If you are a person with a disability who requires a reasonable accommodation in order to participate in this program\, please contact Main Library Gallery in advance at 319-467-1805 or lib-gallery@uiowa.edu.
