Mindframe Theatres, 555 JFK Road, in Dubuque sponsors DubuqueFest's "An Evening with William Ellittot Whitmore." With a voice that sounds like the reincarnation of an old gospel preacher from the 1920s and a fascination with sin, death, and redemption to match, Iowa Native William Elliott Whitmore is one of the most unique artists to emerge on the Americana scene in years. Whitmore will offer a one-man performance on the Mindframe stage. This concert serves as a fundraiser for our festival. Raffle tickets will be for sale for chances to win a variety of artful prizes. Tees & Prints for sale too! Tickets are $20 at the door and includes 1 free raffle ticket. Tickets on sale April 1. Visit dubuquefest.org for ticket information. |
The World's Longest Panoramic Portrait of a Three Day Arts FestivalYou're Invited to Pose for the Portrait!Photographer and artist Tim Olson will use a 1935 vintage studio camera to create a hundred foot long portrait of DubuqueFest. During the festival, Olson will roll his camera along a path that winds through Washington Park and, at intervals of approximately ten minutes in time and ten feet in distance, he will stop and make a single exposure. The 250+ photographs will be stitched together to create a single, highly detailed panoramic portrait of the festival. You're invited to find Tim & his old-timey camera during the fest & pose for the portrait. This project is made possible by funding from the Iowa Arts Council. |
