ArtWalk: In From the Cold, Art to Warm Your Way
Join University Museums' Interpretation Specialist, David Faux, for a 'mostly' indoor tour of selections from the Art on Campus Collection in spaces that are sure to warm on a wintery day. Starting in the Horticulture Hall atrium, we will journey to the Palmer Building and through MacKay and LeBaron Halls, enjoying and discussing the various artful treasures hidden away from the cold in each location.
Artful Yoga
This practice will enrich your yoga experience by going beyond the physical and inviting an artistic perspective to your awareness. Arrive early for a brief discussion of the new exhibition beginning at 5:15. The practice will begin at 5:30. No yoga experience is necessary, but please bring your own mat. To reserve your spot, e-mail nancyg@iastate.edu by 3:00 pm on the day of the class.
