From watercoloring, to printmaking, to art appreciation, there are several opportunities to learn about artistic skills. Woodward has been working with at-risk children from the Peer and Parent Response to Youth's Desire to Excel program, a project of Children and Families of Iowa, for eight weeks at the art center. Works created by these children will be displayed at the art center, the Children and Families of Iowa offices, libraries, educational facilities and other community centers. Frequently these displays of art are accompanied by musical performances. On Oct. 23 at 8 p.m., the Pacifica Quartet, formed in Los Angeles in 1994 and currently from Chicago, will perform its string music in the Levitt Auditorium.
Admission is free.
