As part of our art programming series, we invite experienced, aspiring, and amateur artists alike to make our museums your muse.
Join us in one of our magical gallery spaces after-hours with other artists in your community. Our collections and grand architecture make for excellent sketch subjects.
All are welcome. Admission is free. Advanced registration not required.
Check calendar listings for new sessions in the spring and fall semesters.
Upcoming Sketch Nite Events
Spooky Night @ The Museum
Happy Spooky Szn, Hawkeyes!
The Pentacrest Museums are excited to put on Spooky Night @ The Museum, open for all of our campus and community to enjoy. We'll keep the Old Capitol Museum open after hours for guests to find a treat and roam the galleries. Stumble upon docents with some slightly spooky history to share with you in our galleries like the original University President's Office, the original UI Library, and the original Iowa House Chamber where our Iowa Constitution was first drafted...
