Delivered as part of the Davenport Public Library's virtual 3rd Thursday at Hoover's Presidential Library & Museum programming, the January 20 Zoom webinar A Few of My Favorite Things will find Matthew Schaefer sharing engaging and sometimes astounding facts and materials he discovered in his career as a Hoover archivist, with the presenter saying of his inclusions, “Some are treasures and others are just fascinating pieces of history most people never knew existed.”

Presenting an arresting collection of color, black-and-white, and varied mediums, the Quad City Arts International Airport Gallery is, through February 27, showcasing beautiful works by a trio of Midwestern artists: woodblock prints by Benjamin Calvert of Villa Park, Illinois; sculpture by Darlys Ewoldt of Chicago; and relief prints by Ian Hanesworth of Winona, Minnesota.

Currently touring after the release of his Netflix special The Great Average American, an hour of comedy that Paste magazine called “full of sharp observations and hilarious insights into regular life,” standup sensation Nate Bargatze plays Davenport's Adler Theatre on January 16, the funnyman also noted for his Comedy Central Presents special and his multiple appearances on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon and Late Night with Conan O'Brien.

On January 16, no fewer than 17 gifted Midwestern musicians will perform in Davenport's Redstone Room as featured guests in Polyrhythms' Third Sunday Jazz Series, with Mike Conrad & the Iowa Jazz Composers Orchestra proving that jazz lovers don’t need to look to New York City or Chicago for beautiful, creative, high-quality music.
