A Liberian-born/Tennessee-based artist whose acclaimed style is informed by lyrical pop and traditions of his native West Africa, indie-folk singer/songwriter Mon Rovia headlines a September 12 concert at Davenport's Raccoon Motel, his Thursday-evening set sure to demonstrate why Buzz-Music hailed the performer as "an artist like no other."

Vibrant color, bold design, and a whole lot of water will be showcased at the Quad City Arts International Airport Gallery through October 28, the collective Buchholz, Kugler, & Mitchell exhibition boasting enticing figurative paintings by Holly Buchholz and K. Nadine Mitchell alongside mixed-media sculpture by Dean Kugler.

With the Figge Art Museum hosting an intimate exhibition on loan from the Deere & Company collection, Revolutionary Artist: The Prison Fantasies of David Alfaro Siqueiros, on display in the Davenport venue through January 5, will treat patrons to evocative works by the artist (1896-1974) who founded the modern school of Mexican mural painting alongside his contemporaries Diego Rivera and José Clemente Orozco.

Promising patrons a nostalgic journey back to the late ‘70s and early ‘80s, when the “Mississippi River Jams” and “Isle of Rock” festivals filled Credit Island with the sound of rock, the Davenport locale will host Common Chord's 2024 Credit Island Throwback Fest on August 31, offering guests a family-friendly concert and community festival, plus the annual delights of the Great River Ducky Derby.
