SUMMARY:"One Earth" Mural Ribbon Cutting in Downtown iowa City
DESCRIPTION:The City of Iowa City\, alongside project partners\, will celebrate the installation of a new public mural with a ribbon cutting at 3 p.m. Friday\, May 22\, 2026\, in the Capitol Street Parking Ramp.\nThe mural\, titled “One Earth”\, is located just inside the Clinton Street entrance of the Capitol Street Parking Ramp\, spanning the entire northern wall and transforming a highly visible area of the ramp into a vibrant stitch in the fabric of our community.\nThe mural was created by artist Erykah Wildflowers\, in collaboration with student artist Ivy Santeler and a community paint-day bringing together student volunteers. The project was initiated and led by Olivia Arkfeld\, a student at the University of Iowa and graduating Sustainability Chair of the Undergraduate Student Government.\nThe project was sponsored by several University of Iowa partners\, including $5\,000 from the Undergraduate Student Government\, $3\,000 from the Graduate & Professional Student Government\, and $1\,250 from the Office of Student Engagement & Campus Programs. The project was approved by the Public Art Advisory Committee and will accept the mural into their long-term public art collection.\n“I started this initiative as a permanent testament to UISG’s collective dedication to making our campus a sustainable role model\,” Olivia Arkfeld said. “As it sunk in that it was my last year here\, I wanted to create something that would ensure lasting change among the University of Iowa students and Iowa City as a whole.”\n“This mural will serve as a reminder that there is no Planet B\, and as an ode to the 99.9% of native prairies Iowa has lost to urbanization for years to come. I hope this mural evokes feelings of sorrow\, admiration\, and nostalgia for what was\, but most importantly\, inspires action and advocacy by Iowa City residents and the thousands nationwide that come to visit our beautiful campus.”\n\n“This project is a great example of what public art can do: bring together different people and perspectives to create something meaningful in a shared public space\,” said Iowa City Public Art Coordinator Rachel Kilburg Varley.\nThe ribbon-cutting event is free and open to the public. Attendees are invited to view the mural\, meet the artists\, and learn more about Iowa City’s public art program.

SUMMARY:SUNDAY MUSIC : Nick Stika
DESCRIPTION:Stika was born and raised in Iowa City\, IA where he still resides. He first laid his hands on a guitar at age eight and found he could never put it down. He began his official music career in 1977 when he fronted his first band at age 17. Since then\, for over 30 years\, he’s faithfully strummed his guitar to the tune of Rock\, Country\, Punk\, New Wave\, Folk and many other genres.\nStika is currently focused on three projects: his solo career\, his cover band Dogs On Skis and an acoustic duo with long time friend Tom Nugent. “I can play very popular music\,” he says\, “or I can play obscure covers by songwriters that have influenced me over the years and blend in my own original songs.” Some of those songwriters include Greg Brown\, David Wilcox\, Don Conoscenti and Ellis Paul.\nStika released his solo debut album\, Big Ol’ Moon\, in 2003 and is already hard at work on his full-length sophomore album. The album will feature songs in a similar Acoustic Pop/Folk vein.
