Art in the Afternoon
<p>Fee: none. No registration.</p><p>Membership Not Required</p><p>Sundays, 5/19, 6/9, 7/21</p><p>1 - 2:30 PM in the Assembly Room</p><p>Organizer: The ArtiFactory</p><p>Since February of 2016, Art in the Afternoon</p><p>has been a monthly showcase for Iowa City</p><p>area artists to present their artwork and</p><p>display their skills. These programs are free</p><p>and open to the public. This summer we will</p><p>add to the growing list with four remarkable</p><p>artists.</p><p>7/21: Jeff Allen <br>Jeff Allen founded the Plein Air Painters of <br>Iowa and is a past member of the Plein Air <br>Painters of Chicago, artist member of the <br>Palette and Chisel Academy of Fine Arts of <br>Chicago, Iowa Artists, and the Cedar Rapids <br>Drawing Group. Jeff explains, “Painting is <br>a process of problem solving. Problems of <br>light, shadow, composition, form, rhythm, <br>along with what you want to say. If you ask <br>yourself the right questions while standing <br>in front of the canvas, you can create a <br>painting that the viewer can connect with. <br>Words alone are not enough.” Jeff’s work <br>has been described as bold, yet soft; pastoral <br>with a certain dreamlike, ethereal quality; <br>and impressionistic realism. Jeff draws his <br>inspiration from the Iowa landscape and the <br>group of friends that surround him.</p> 2019-04-29 14:30:00 -05007/21/191:00 p.m.The CenterIowa City -

Journey to the Center of the Milky Way Galaxy
<p>The Center of our own Milky Way Galaxy is vastly different than the place where the Sun resides (the "Solar Neighborhood"). The physical conditions are significantly more extreme in the Galactic center and detailed observations of our own nucleus provide us with a window into understanding other galaxies in the universe. In this talk, UI Professor Cornelia Lang will describe her own multi-wavelength observations and research that works to uncover the astrophysics of this unusual environment.</p><p>The program is part of the 2019 Adult Summer Reading Program</p> 2019-07-09 20:30:00 -05007/24/197:00 p.m.Iowa City Public LibraryIowa City -
