Uprka and Wine
<p>Our expert teacher will guide you in creating your own canvas painting masterpiece inspired by a work in our exhibit, National Treasure: The Art of Joza Uprka from the George T. Drost Collection.

With the way he detailed the outfits and faces of his subjects, it would seem a daunting task to try to paint like him, but have no fear! If you need some liquid courage, we will have our bar open for you to enjoy.</p><p><a href="https://interland3.donorperfect.net/weblink/WebLink.aspx?name=E82716&id=384" target="_self"><br></a></p> 2019-01-19 21:00:00 -0600

Grand Concourse by Heidi Schreck
<p>“Grand Concourse may well break your heart. You may need tissues by the end.” - New York Post. Having dedicated her life to religious service, Shelley runs a Bronx soup kitchen with unsentimental efficiency, but lately her heart is not quite in it. Her brisk nature masks an unsettling fear that her efforts are meaningless. When Emma, an idealistic but confused college dropout, arrives to volunteer, her reckless mix of generosity and self-involvement pushes Shelley to the breaking point. With keen humor and startling compassion, Heidi Schreck’s play navigates the mystery of faith, the limits of forgiveness, and the pursuit of something resembling joy.</p><p> </p><p>Presented by the University of Dubuque Department of Fine and Performing Arts.<br><br><span>Adults: $10 | Non-UD Students: $5 | UD Faculty/Staff/Students: FREE</span></p>4/27/197:30 p.m.Babka Theatre - University of Dubuque Heritage CenterDubuque -
