Hailed by the Irish Times as "a dauntingly comprehensive and beautifully filmed study," director Aoife Kelleher's 2014 documentary One Million Dubliners serves as the third screening in the Bettendorf Public Library's Global Gathering Ireland film series, the October 11 screening exposing viewers to the national necropolis that is Ireland's Glasnevin Cemetery, the final resting place for 1.5 million souls.

On display at Davenport's Figge Art Museum through January 8, the arresting historical exhibition Art & Activism at Tougaloo College will explore the inception of this distinctive collection at the intersection of modern art, education, and social justice, and in doing so, will highlight Tougaloo’s evolution as a center for vanguard European and American art shaped by interracial collaboration and the pursuit of civil rights.

Held in conjunction with the nationally touring Art & Activism at Tougaloo College, an exhibition celebration and curator talk will be held at Davenport's Figge Art Museum on October 12, the evening featuring a presentation by Turry M. Flucker, former Director and Curator of the Tougaloo College Art Collections and current Vice President of Collections and Partnerships at the Terra Foundation for American Art.

Interspersing his humorous observations on life with twisted, inventive, bizarre songs sung and played in a variety of styles, the genre-defying entertainer Heywood Banks takes the stage at Davenport's Rhythm City Casino Resort Rhythm Room on October 12, his standup earning the artist first place in the Johnnie Walker Comedy Search Contest and his musical genres ranging from folk, to country to rock and beyond.
